■V.    K^    J.  A  jJlL.' 


fi'    Bv  the  warm  lireatli  of  Summer  j^eiUly  famicd, 
Awav  from  liome  and  thinu'lits  of  care  we  steal 


<     -  'A  ,       Within  the  witle-decl^ed  shij)  whose  ea^er  keel, 

Spurning  our  shores,  steers  forth  for  "Sunrise  I.anc 

Xow  vast  and  muUitudinous  on  eaeli  hand, 

The  restless,  surj^ing  ocean  hillows  reel. 

And  o'er  their  foam-capped  crests  to  us  reveal 

The  outlines  of  a  ]ianorama  grand, — 

Passamai|uoddy"s  shores  and  islands  green, 

The  ruiiged  sea-girt  cliffs  of  drand  Manan, 

Forever  \\  ashed  by  I'"undy's  mighty  tides, 

Acadian  fiells,  and  Piloniidon's  steep  sides, 

And  Ureton's  Cape  whereon  the  sun  to  man 

New  rising  in  the  western  world  is  seen. 


VEXING  ([uestion  this,  "How  and  where  shall 
I  spend  my  vacation  ?  "  when  a  hundred  attrac- 
tions offer  themselves  in  tempting  array.  You 
may  have  "done"  resorts  near  home  till  the 
desire  for  "something  new"  demands  attention. 
Then  allow  me  to  offer  a  few  suggestions. 
From  the  tourist's  point  of  view  there  are 
always  new  worlds  to  conquer,  fresh  fields  to 
visit,  new  experiences  lO  live.  The  surprising 
thing  is  that  so  much  remains  so  near  at  hand  and  so  rich  in  entertain- 
ment. You  may  not  appreciate  how  much  lies  in  store  for  you  "just 
over  the  border,"  in  that  region  "  toward  the  sunrise,"  that  landscapes 
of  unique  and  varied  beauties  wait  to  gladden  your  eye  ;  nor  how 
novel  may  be  your  experiences  under  another  flag.  Not  alone  a  land 
of  strange  and  beautiful  physical  features,  but  also  rich  in  historic 
memories  and  bathed  in  the  soft  glamour  of  romance.  All  this,  and 
more,  is  true  of  that  portion  of  Canada  called  the  Maritime  Provinces, 
the  "  Aquoddie  "  of  the  Indian,  the  Acadia  of  the  pioneers  of  France 
in  the  New  \Vorld. 

Who  has  not  conjured  up  legends  and  tales  at  mention  of  "Passa- 
maquoddy,"  or  felt  a  stimulus  in  the  resounding  names  of  "  Grand 


Mnnan  "or  "  Fiindy  "  ?  what  s])ortsnian  that  has  not  seen  visions  of  noble 
game  and  Indian  giiiiles  with  deft  jiaddles,  to  the  music  of  such  names 
as  "  Meta])edia,"  "  Restigouche,"  or  "  Miramichi  "? 

Certainly  none  could  have  read  "  Evangeline  "  without  a  longing 
for  the  fair  fields  of  (Irand  Pre  and  the  mysterious  forests  of  Blomi- 
don.  All  this  becomes  reality  for  him  who  reads,  by  means  of  the 
water  route  of  the  well-established  Iiiirnuitional  Steamship  Company, 
—  a  reality  prefaced  by  all  the  delights  of  an  ocean  voyage  sans  discom- 
forts,—  a  voyage  skirting  the  pictured  shores  of  more  than  half  New 
England,  the  waters  of  Passamaquoddy  and  Fundy  iJays,  having  I'os- 
ton  for  its  initial  point,  Portland  and  Eastport  its  intermediate  landings, 
and  St.  John  its  terminal. 

This  company  has  three  side-wheel  steamers,  the  "  State  of  Maine," 
"  Cumberland,"  and  "  New  Brunswick,"  the  two  first  named  of  about 
sixteen  hundred  tons  burden,  and  the  latter  of  about  one  thousand  tons, 
fitted  with  conveniences  and  luxuries  of  modern  naval  construction. 
'I'he  cuisine  and  service  have  long  been  a  matter  of  note  to  travellers, 
and  are  kept  at  an  unvaryingly  high  standard  of  excellence. 

In  connection  with  its  steamship  lines  this  company  has  established 
a  system  of  tourist  routes  and  rates  (see  latter  part  of  book),  covering 
rail  and  steamboat  lines  necessary  for  reaching  the  summer  resorts  of 
Maine,  as  well  as  those  within  the  Maritime  Provinces  of  New  Brunswick 
and  Nova  Scotia,  Prince  Edward  Island  and  Cape  Breton,  famous  Crand 
Manan,  the  charming  Passamacjuoddy  Bay  resting  retreats  of  Campo- 
bello  Island  and  St.  Andrew's-by-the-Sea. 

The  reader  will  readily  understand  that  the  limited  space  afforded 
in  a  book  of  this  description  will  not  allow  (jf  an  exhaustive  treatment 
of  the  many  summer  resorts  reached  by  this  company  and  its  connec- 
tions. 

\  irs//!iit'  of  personal  observations,  combined  with  numerous  im- 
pressions of  other  and  more  careful  obser\ers  and  writers,  is  all  that 
the  author  can  offer  on  this  most  fascinating  of  subjects.  "  See  it  for 
yourself"  is  the  only  perfect  satisfaction.

FIKR  an  admonitory  blast  or  two  from  the 
hoarse  throat  of  the  whistle,  the  polite  suggestion, 
"All  ashore  that's  going  ashore,"  the  heavy  plash 
of  stern  and  bow  line  by  the  steamer's  side,  the 
great  i)iston  plunges  into  the  depths  of  the  engine 
pit,  and  the  ponderous  wheels  begin  their  revo- 
lutions, not  to  cease  until  two  hundred  and  thirty 
miles  and  more  have  been  spanned,  and  twenty-one  thousand 
revolutions  scored  on  the  wonderfully  human  little  register  below. 

From  the  hurricane  deck  the  roofs  of  the  warehouses  seem  moving 
slowly  away,  the  voyage  is  actually  begun  ;  we  would  not  bespeak  for 
you  any  other  than  a  balmy,  sunny  day,  be  it  early  o''  late  summer,  or 
mid-season,  the  great  steamer,  in  its  holiday  attire  of  gay  bunting,  re- 
cei\  ing  numerous  little  marine  courtesies  from  small  craft,  glides  out 
among  the  exhilarating  scenes  of  a  great  harbor  at  the  height  of  the 
season,  and  heads  for  the  open  sea. 

Perhaps  for  the  first  time  you  will  realize,  as  you  look  back,  what 
an  evolution  Boston  is  undergoing  in  its  physical  aspects  at  least,  as 
the  hnlf-ilozen  recent  architectural  achievements  assert  themselves,  and 
soar  grandly  heavenward.  Wonderfully  striking  and  picturesque  it  is, 
suggestive  perhaps  also  of  the  "  (Ireater  Boston  "  that  is  to  be  ;  the 
gilded  dome  sinks  into  a  secondary  position,  dwarfed  by  the  superior 
lowers  that  stand  before  it. 

'l"he  steamer  is  now  swiftly  leaving  the  city  behind  and  bringing  into 
view  the  islands  of  the  harbor, —  Governor's,  with  its  sullen,  silent  Fort

Winthrop,  on  the  left,  Castle  Island,  with  massive  walls  of  Fort  Inde- 
pendence on  the  right,  tied  to  South  Boston  by  a  many-spanned  bridge, 
and  following  the  main  ship  channel.  Spectacle  and  l-ong  Islands  glide 
silently  by.  That  large  group  of  buildings  on  the  left  is  not  a  summer 
resort  exactly,  although  it  is  quite  a  favorite  retreat  for  certain  individ- 
uals who  frecjuent  it  at  the  invitation  and  expense  of  the  municipality  ! 
A  mile  or  so  and  we  are  off  the  northern  end  of  Long  Island  and  Nix's 
Mate,  with  Galloupe's  and  Lovell's  beyond.  It  is  just  here  that  our 
course  is  brought  around  to  N.  K.  by  K.  and  we  are  headed  straight 
for  Cai)e  Ann ;  on  our  right,  again,  the  striking  group  of  the  Brewsters 
swings  into  view,  (ireat.  Middle,  and  Outer:  just  beyond  and  over  the 
Middle,  looming  white  in  the  morning  sunlight,  stands  the  tower  of 
Boston  Light. 

"Though  if  a  clouil-shade  cliaii;*  to  dip 
Upon  it  a  nioiuciit,  'twill  suddenly  sink, 
Levelled  and  lost  in  the  darkened  main, 
Till  the  sun  builds  it  suddenly  up  again 
As  if  with  a  rul)  of  Aladdin's  lamp." 

The  broad  waters  of  Massachusetts  15ay  open  up  before,  sprinkled 
with  many  a  flying  sail,  the  line  of  smoke  from  a  distant  steamer  deli- 
cately pencilled  along  the  soft  summer  sky.  Nahant,  first  to  appear  of 
the  group  of  headlands  along  the  North  Shore,  lifts  itself  as  a  kind  of 
promise  of  much  that  is  to  follow.  Behind  it  a  golden  thread  moors 
it  to  the  land,  then  melts  away  on  either  side  in  glistening,  shining 
strands,  — the  beaches  of  Revere  and  Lynn. 

The  moving  panorama  shifts  again,  and  another  bold  peninsula 
stretches  out  along  the  northern  horizon,  flanked  by  the  white  beaches 
and  glowing  bits  of  ledge  of  Swampscott  on  one  side,  the  dim  outlines 
melting  into  mist  on  the  other.  It  is  Marblehead  Neck  ;  from  it  to  the 
many  spires  of  Lynn  a  chain  of  summer  colonies,  basking  in  the  mellow 
light,  close  on  our  port  the  tiny  light  on  l':gg  Rock.  As  the  light  on  the 
neck  comes  into  full  view, 

"  Not  far  auay  we  see  the  port, 

The  strange,  old-fashioned,  silent  town. 
The  lighthouse,  the  disniantletl  fort, 

The  wooden  houses,  (juaint  and  i)rown," 

of  Marblehead  itself,  that  delightful  old  town  of  song  and  story,  gnarly, 
knotty,  loyal,  and  conservative.  Salem,  scarcely  less  interesting  in  its 
picturesqueness,  modestly  retires  to  its  snug  harbor  behind  Marblehead, 
and  is  scarcely  discernible  through  the  haze  of  an  early  morning,  dim 


■»£ 


and  shadowy  like  the  tales  that  Hawthorne  wove  from  the  witchery  ot 
Salem's  olden  time.  Indeed  how  saturated  wiih  the  glamour  of 
romance  and  tradition  is  all  this  northern  shore,  from  Boston  ]5ay  to 
Portsmouth  town  !  How  many  names  dear  to  New  England's  heart, 
or  written  on  fame's  fair  scroll,  are  suggested  to  the  mind  of  the 
beholder  ! 

From    Salem  to    Ca])e  Ann's  rocky  verge  is  an  almost  continuous 
procession  of  country  villas ;  creations  of  many  of  the  first  architects

01  our  day ;  homes  of  elegance, 
luxury,  and  refinement.  Beverly, 
Manchester,  Magnolia,  all  of 
them  backed  by  mile  upon  mile 
of  bronze  green  verdure.  East- 
ern Point,  another  of  our  favorite 
haunts,  supporting  on  its  baUl 
front  a  light,  marks  the  entrance  to  Gloucester  and  its  ample  harbor, 
from  whose  remote  shelter  a  score  of  sail  are  lazily  drifting. 

For  some  time  past  two  gray  towers  ha\e  been  growing  out  of  the 
distance,  like  the  dim  portals  to  some  mysterious  haven,  out  there  be- 
yond Cape  Ann,  — 

"  Two  pale  sisters  all  alone, 
( )ii  an  island  bleak  and  bare,"  — 

the  Cape  Ann  lights  of  Thatcher's  Island,  first  to  the  eye  of  the  trans- 
atlantic pilot,  first,  also,  in  their  classification  and  importance,  their 
twin  columns  rising  a  hundred  and  twelve  feet  skyward,  constituting, 
with  Boston  Light,  the  Shoals,  and  Cape  Elizabeth,  the    great  guide- 


hoards,  as  it  were,  from  Ho.ston  to  Portland,  It  is  jiisl  here  that  the 
steamer's  course  is  shaped,  either  for  Portland  or  Mastport  as  the  case 
may  be:  if  for  the  latter,  east  by  north,  to  Matinicus  laght,  if  the 
former,  as  our  present  purpose  recpiires,  then  it  is  for  Cape  I'dizabeth 
Light,  and  within  sight  of  the  Isles  of  Shoals,  those  "  half-dozen  frag- 
ments of  wive-worn  rock,  thrust  up  from  the  bottom  of  the  sea,  like 
the  cast-off  remnants  of  a  continent,"  that  wonderful,  sunny  archi- 
pelago, like 

'•  A  string;  'if  pearls  tlicy  Hl'oii  Ocean's  breast, 
Steeped  in  a  ]anj,'iMt  l)niu,L;lit  them  frciin  afar." 

'["hey,  too,  have  been  sung  by  poets  and  limned  by  artists  as  no  other 
island  group  along  our  coast,  it  seems  ([uite  apropos  that  the  light- 
keeper's  daughter  should  ])ossess  a  poet's  soul,  shtnild  be  the  annalist 
and  idealizer  of  its  charms  and  mysteries. 

'i'he  indefinite  and  misty  shore  hne  that  reaches  in  a  vari-hued  arc 
from  ("ape  Ann  to  Cape  Neddick  we  know  to  be  the  boundary  of 
three  States  on  the  ocean  side,  the  strands  to  which  so  many  thousands 
ilee  for  their  breath  of  salty  air  and  cooling  l)ath  ;  Agamenticus  only, 
the  storied  hill  of  York,  standing  out  in  strong  relief,  a  sort  of  beacon 
to  guide  the  sailor  to  a  safe  harbor.  This  hill  had  peculiar  fascinations 
to  the  Indian,  a  tradition  averring  that  St.  Aspencjuid,  a  prophet  and 
saint  of  these  people,  was  interred  with  savage  pomp  of  funeral  rites 
upon  its  summit  ;  let  us  be  thankful  that  its  sonorous  name  still  lives, 
though  Charles  I.  sought  to  distinguish  it  with  the  name  of  15oston. 
Iloon  Island  and  its  light,  that  comes  just  in  line  with  Agamenticus, 
stands  out  in  solitary  isolation,  some  ten  miles  from  shore  or  neighbor. 
It  is  about  this  time  when  blue  coat  and  brass  buttons,  assisted  by  a 
bell,  announces  dinner,  and  an  opportunity  offers  to  discover  that  one 
can  get  as  perfect  service  on  a  steamer  as  on  shore,  //  he  is  on  the 
present  steamer.

The  twin  lights  of  l'",liz;ibeth,  range  lights  they  are  called,  one  a 
"  first-order  fixed,"  the  other  a  tlashing  light,  are  among  the  finest  of 
our  exceptionally  fine  lighthouse  service.  We  seem  to  be  competent  to 
furnish  guidance  at  any  rate,  if  other  powers  fiu'nish  ships, —  something  to 
be  grateful  for  !  This  High  Head  of  Cape  I'Mizabeth  might  more  aptly 
be  called  Cabha^^rlieaJ .'  for  aside  from  lighthouses  and  rock  it  runs  to 
cabbages,  j^ix  thousand  ions  of  them  raised  in  one  year  !  Another  cro]) 
also  seems  indigenous  to  this  spot,  one  not  as  profitable  or  pleasing  to 
contemplate,  one  "sown  by  the  tempest,  reaped  by  the  whirlwind"  as 
it  were,  for  perhaps  no  one  locality  Maine  coast-wise  has  seen  so  many 
wrecks.  One  page  alone  from  the  marine  diary  will  suffice,  its  date 
Sept.  26,  1SS9,  when  seven  hopeless  wrecks  strewed  Elizabeth  and 
Scarborough  shore  ! 

Hut  these  are  not  congenial  subjects,  and  while  we  are  retrospecting, 
Portland  Head  has  "ho\e  in  sight,"  its  light  the  first  to  shine  on  this 
coast,  dating  trom  1  790,  and  marking  one  extreme  of  Casco  Uay 
Seguin  the  other,  and  Half-A\'ay  its  central  jioint,  or  nearly  so.  l\iss- 
ing  Ram  Island,  which  looks  perfectly  harmless,  we  are  confronted  by 
the  rather  imposing  Ottiwa  Hoijse,  charmingly  placed  on  Cushing's 
Island,  the  most  important  resort  jjerhaps  on  the  bay.  Passing  House 
Island  on  which  Fort  Scammel  solemnly  stands,  with  Fort  Ciorges  be- 
yond, and  historic  l''ort  Preble  on  our  left,  we  are  fairly  in  Portlana

PORTLAND       '>2 


"'J"he  greatest  seaport  in  the  world  could  iKjt  liave  a  more  splen- 
did or  more  im])Osing  approach,"  says  Drake;  and  certainly  none  is 
more  worthy  of  it  than  the  {''orest  City,  ([ueen  of  Maine's  munici- 
]-)alities,  seated  on  her  noble  hill,  the  proud  monarch  of  f;iir  Casco 
Bay  and  of  a  harbor  unexcelled  on  the  Atlantic  seaboard. 

Her  streets,  lined  and  arched  by  stately  elms,  fronted  by  no  less 
stately  churches  and  colonial  mansions,  suggest  her  historic  past,  or 
recall  the  memory  of  her  beloved  poet,  Longfellow  ;  with  her  numerous 
handsome  civic  and  commercial  buildings,  her  "  inalienable  freehold 
in  pure  air,  generous  sunshine,  and  the  most  excjuisite  of  sea-scajies," 
It  is  natural  that  Tortland  should  ]^TO\•e  attractive  to  a  stranger,  and  on 
closer  acciuaintance  a  most  "livable"  town. 

Populated  by  some  twoscore  thousand  souls,  the  terminal  ol 
several  railroad  lines,  the  very  heart,  indeed,  from  which  numerous  rail- 
way arteries  radiate,  north,  cast,  and  west  to  the  great  seaside 
resorts  of  Maine,  the  White  Mountains,  and  the  woods,  lakes,  and 
streams  of  the  north,  and  of  course  the  first  maritime  city  east  of  Boston, 
the  temptation  is  strong  to  dwell  on  such  a  congenial  subject  much 
more  than  our  limited  space  allows.  Portland  has  a  history  too,  a  rich 
and  savory  one  ;  dating  from  its  incorporation  as  Falmouth  in  1658, 
re-incorporated  as  I'ortland  in  1  786,  known  also  to  the  savage  as  Machi- 
gonne.  Such  names  as  Munjoy,  Bramhall,  Preble,  Cleves,  and  a  score 
of  others  keep  alive  the  memories  of  those  whose  valor  or  greatness 
has  made  history.  Of  course  every  one  will  wish  to  find  the  old  house 
of  Peleg  W'adsworth,  he  of  Castine  fame,  and  grandfather  of  the  jwet, 
standing  near  the  hardly  less  venerable  Preble  House,  and  the  birth- 
place of  the  poet  on  Fore  Street. 

The  antiquated  eastern  cemetery  will  furnish  material  for  a  good 
day's  rummaging  among  its  moss  grown  stones  and  tablets. 

Some  hot  naval  engagements  have  taken  place  off  Portland,  that  of  the 
"  Boxer  "  and  "  Enterprise  "  in  18 14  leading  the  list.  She  also  enjoys  the 
distinction  of  being  the  only  Northern  port  visited  by  rebels  during  the

Civil  War,  sacrificing  by  that  daring  feat  her  cutter  "  dishing."  Portland, 
too,  has  been  tried  by  fire,  that  famous  disaster  of  July  4,  1S66,  wip- 
ing out  nearly  one  half  the  city,  and  explaining  the  air  of  newness  in 
its  western  section,  enhancing  perhaps  the  value  of  the  historic  re- 
mains, revealing  too  the  significance  of  its  seal,  the  phcenix  rising 
from  ashes  and  bearing  the  legend,  "  Resurgam."

KASTWARl)  FROM  I'OKTI.ANl). 

jOSSllilA  oil  leaving  Portland  the  tide  will  allow  us  to  get 
a  view  at  short  range  of  that  magnificent  old  sentinel, 
Wliite  Head,  that  stands  guard  on  the  northeasterly  end 
of  Cushing's  Island  ;  if  so,  it  is  easy  to  understand  why 
it  filled  the  imagination  of  Longfellow's  youth,  inspiring 
his  pen  as  well  as  others.  A  momentary  jiassage  between  the  gray  walls 
on  the  starboard  and  the  green  banks  on  the  ])ort  side  of  Cushing's 
and  Peak's  Islands,  and  we  are  met  by  one  of  those  visions  of  beauty 
that  only  the  coast  of  Maine  reveals, — 

"  Bays  resplendent  as  the  heaven, 

Starred  and  fjenimed  hy  thousand  isles, 
(lird  thee;    Casco  with  its  islets, 
(Juoddy  with  its  dimpled  smiles,"  — 

melting  into  the  golden  distance  of  a  late  summer  afternoon. 

Drake,  in  his  "  Pine  'I'ree  Coast,"  uses  the  ai)t  illustration  of  a 
l)loughed  field  for  this  remarkable  bay,  the  ocean  having  filled  the  fur- 
rows, and  produced  a  crop  of  some  two  hundred  and  twenty  or  more 
isles,  all  trending  like  the  furrows  in  a  northeasterly  direction.  It 
would  be  madness  to  attempt  to  name  all  the  islands  in  sight,  the  more 
])rominent  beyond  Peak's  Island  being  I.ong,  (Ireat  Chebeague,  Hope, 
Jewell's,  and  the  two  tiny  specks  of  inner  and  outer  Green,  near  which 
latter  rises  a  bare  rock  known  by  the  euphonious  title  of  •'  the  hunk  of 
pork." 

The  commander  of  one  of  the  steamcs  tells  us  of  a  gunner  who, 
deprived  of  his  boat  by  the  rising  tide,  found  very  scant  sustenance 
from  this  same  porcine  morsel  during  a  long  November  day  and  night. 
By  the  way,  how  much  the  enjoyment  of  a  sea  trip  is  enhanced  by  a 
cheery  and  communicative  captain,  such,  for  instance,  as  will  be  found 
on  the  steamers  of  the  International  line  !

sharp  blue  line  of  the  l^astern  Maine  hills.  We  are  off  Machias,  the  bold

r  is  evident  from  the  momenl  of  arrisal  at  Mastport 
lat  it  is  an  intensely  active  and  hustlinLi;  town,  a  sort 
of  condensed  Yankee  land,  intensified  as  an  object 
lesson  to  our  more  easv-goinc;  Canadian  neinrhbors. 
This  being  the  very  centre  of  the  great  Ivistern  resorts, 
the  focal  ])oint  from  whence  tourists  radiate  to  the 
score  of  hotels  and  small  towns  that  cater  to  summer 
travel,  it  is  ciuite  ap]")ro]iriate  that  it  should  receive 
first  attention.  ihe  first  thing  that  impresses  a  stranger  (via  his 
nostrils)  is  the  herring  and  sardine  industries,  whose  ])acking  houses 
line  the  water  front,  each  with  its  fishing  boats  in  attendance.  To  be 
literal,  the  out])ut  of  smoked  herring  is  two  million  boxes  or  more,  and 
of  canned  sardines  (so  called),  three  hundred  thousand  i-ases,  of 
which  the  Internatiou  il  freights  the  major  ])art.  Wandering  up  from 
the  landing  through  the  main  street,  the  e\  idences  of  the  fire  of  1887 
are  omnipresent  in  the  new  structures  bearing  that  date.  The  hand- 
some new  library  building,  erected  by  private  be(|uest  recently,  head- 
ing the  list,  the  substantial  granite  go\ernment  building  Hanking  the 
farther  end.  Throughout  the  town  many  ipiaint  old  homesteads  remain 
to  keeji  ali\  e  the  memory  of  the  past,  which  for  its  situation  Kustport 
has  little  of    importance  to  slunv. 

it  is  to  the  hill  back  of  the  town  and  back  of  h'ort  Sullivan,  where 
now  is  ]ilaceii  the  w:iter  tower,  that  the  visitor's  feet  should  turn,  for  it 
is  just  here,  if  we  mistake  not,  that  all  the  matchless  beauty  of  the 
(Juoddy  region  unfolds  itself  as  at  no  other  point.  The  eager  eye 
drinks  in  a  mosaic  of  land  and  water  in  every  direction.  Northward

puri)le  in  the  distance.  A  name  to  con- 
jure with,  a  spot  fit  for  deeds  of  chivalry 
and  daring,  a  challenge  to  the  ])ainter's 
brush,  an  invitation  to  the  naturalist,  and

playgrcnuid  for  nature's  moods,  unspoiled 
by  tlie  conventions  of  modern  sunnncr

Indian  Head,  the  highest  point  on  the  island,  and  near  it  the  curious 
little  Dark  Harl)or,  separated  by  a  sand  bar  or  pebbly  dike  from  the 
ocean,  which  rushes  in  through  a  narrow  sluiceway,  furnishing  a  natural

It  is  not  easy  in  a  few  lines  to  mention  half  the  points  of  interest

boundarv  of  Acadia.  It  is  interesting  then  as  we  steam  up  ri\er 
to  look  u])on  the  little  island  mid-stre.nn,  with  its  history  fresh  in  the 
mind,  its  sole  resident,  the  lightkeepir.  in  hi>  white  tower,  with  his

'This  may  be  a  proper  time  to  mention  brieth'  a  few  of  the  names 
that  will  figure  in  our  narrativt',  and  ser\e  to  keep  in  mind  in  outline

be  sure,  a  cusloins  official  is  stationed  at  either  end  of  the  covered 
bridge  ])et\vecn  them,  and  si'ntrtiincs  looks  into  yom-  grip,  but  the 
many  little  smuggling  in(  idenls  arc  regarded  more  as  a  ioke  than  an 
orfen(  e  cvideiilly  '.  As  Calais  is  the  head  of  nasigation,  so  is  it  the 
beginning  of  a  water-power  on  the  St.  Croix.  At  Milltown,  just  above, 
e.xtensive  lumber  mills  fill  the  air  with  the  sound  of  buzzing  saws,  the 
sa\ory  odor  of  green  sawdust,  and  turns  out  finished  lumber  by  the 
million  feet,  the  raw  material  coming  from  the  drand  bake  region 
beyond  I'rinccton.  to  which  ])oint  extends  a  railway,  and  the  unmeasured 
forests  along  the  rivers  tributary  to  it  and  the  St.  Croi.\.  There  is  still 
good  fishing  among  these  tributary  waters  of  the  drand  or"  Schoodic  " 
bakes,  the  lower  or  "  big'  lake  containing  pickerel,  wliii  h  of  course 
have  tiriven  out  finer  species,  and  the  up])er  or  Crand  lake  and  its 
stream,  brook  and  lake  trout  and  land-locke<l  salmon.  It  is  of  the 
smaller  lakes  northwesterly  that  best  results  may  be  e\]:)ectcd,  for 
which  Indian  guides  a  i)lenty  are  available  at  Princeton,  i'ldward  .A. 
Samuels  may  Itc  quoted  as  having  had  -'great  fishing"  in  these  waters. 
Aside  from  the  lumber  industry,  ([uarrying  is  of  some  little  impor- 
tance, the  red  granite  of  Red  beach,  which  we  ])assed  near  Doucet's 
Isl.ind,  and  of  the  St.  (ieorgc  ipiarries  being  (|uarric(l  bv  com]ianies 
located  here. 

What  is  said  of  ( 'alais  is  also  pra<'licaily  true  of  this 
St.  Stephen,  border  town  of  New  llrunswick,  with  the  excejition  of 
its  i)opulalion,  which  is  some  three  (;r  four  thousand

It  is    just    here    that  the  kev  is  found  to  the  peculiar  geological  for-

the  .Alleghany  Mountains,  of  distinctly  volcanic  character,  composed 
of  trap  rock,  with  feld-par,  basalt,  |ior])hyr\',  greenstone  trap  and  the 
like,  whose  practical  value  is  demon>trated  in  the  numerous  granite  and 
gyi)sum  <|uarries.  .\  glance  at  the  map  shows  tluN  same  marked  nordi- 
easterly  trend  in  all  the  maritime  ranges, —  the  cliffs  of  Manan,  North 
and  South  Mountains,  and  ('obe(|uid's  range  in  Nova  Scotia,  the  grand

After  i)assing  Point  I  epreaux  and  its  banded  lighthouse,  tlanked  by

stands  out  tVom  the  hazy  distance,  almost  imniediatel\  followed  by  the 
clustering  houses  of  ("arleton,  with  the  ancient  martello  tower  high 
above  it,  relie\  ed  against  the  sky  ;  the  long  gray  wall  of  the  breakwater 
extending  far  out  t'rom  the  shore  ;  and  finally,  the  picturesipie  bjacon

l)e  struck  by  the  extremely  el"l"ecti\c  grouping  of  the  city  of  St.  John, 
its  ("lOthic  sj)ires  clustered  on  the  hilltop,  and  solid  coi.  mercial  build- 
ings sloping  toward  the  water,  where  a  perfect  f(>rest  of  shipping  is 
gathered  from  every  corner  of  the  earth  ;  the  mystery  is,  how  so  many 
vessels  can  be  accommodated  in  so  small  a  harbor.

K  New  liiunswick,  the  first  city,  ot  C'anaihan  shipown- 
ing  cities  also  the  first,  with  a  population  of  some 
fifty  thousand,  and  a  history  dating  from  the  early 
seventeenth  century,  St.  John  is  not  distinctively 
i'.nglish  or,  indeed,  Canadian,  in  its  characteristics 
or  outw;)rd  appearance.  It  is  even  denominated 
the  American  city,  in  contract  with  Halifax,  which  is  quite  Knglish  ; 
but  for  all  that,  the  visitor  from  "the  States"  finds  miich  tliat  is  new 
to  him  in  the  minor  details  of  life  ;  perhaps  nowhere  so  markedlv  as 
in  the  universal  courtesy  of  its  jieople,  of  whatever  class,  and  the  good 
quality  of  the  language  one  hears  everywhere,  not  alone  here,  but 
throughout  JMiglish-speaking  Canada. 

'rhere  are  a  great  number  of  hotels  in  St.  John,  —  a  tact  which  is 
true  of  nearly  all  Provincial  cities.  There  are  also  among  them  some 
very  comfortable  ones. 

Your  "  Appleton  "  or"Ticknor"  will  direct  you,  fiist  of  all,  very 
in-operly,  to  see  the  falls  and  graceful  suspension  bridge,  whi(di  are  the 
great  "  ^how  pieces"  of  the  town.  h.  John  can  boast  of  at  least  one 
novelty  without  duplicate,  —  the  '•  reversible  fall,"  ;'s  it  has  been  hap- 
jiily  called,  -  a  phenomenon  for  which  the  Fundy  tides  are  responsible. 
Novel,  indeed,  it  is  to  behold  a  vast  torrent  of  water  fiowing  through  a 
narrow,  rockv  ])assage  toward  the  sea  ;  half  an  hour  later  .i  placid  stream

The  ferryman,  wiio  for  years  liad  safely  piloted  linman  freiiJilit,  who  half

and  a  hundred  feet  and  more  in  air,  i>  obtained  a  striking  and  effet  ti\e

the  riser  iust  here,  and  mid  stream  the  island  where  that  pincky  hit  of 
femininity.  Madame  I. a  Tour,  held  the  lort  of  her  lord  against  the  as- 
saulting forces  of  D'Aulnay.      I'hose  were  stormy    imes,  indeed  !   when 


ssaeiiHf 


feudalism,  transplanted  to  tlie  wild>  of  the  New  World,  mingled  with  the 
sa\age  strife  of  the  red  man.  St.  |ohn\  architecture  is  well  worthy  of  at-

and  west  as  also  the  en\inin^  of  St.  John. 

The  l)nsin<'ss  interests  centre  around  the  shi]i|iinL;,  as  one  niiglit 
itna,L,Mne  ;  lumber  in  vast  (luantities  from  the  river  country  northward  is 
exported,  lime  is  also  at.  itnportant  item  when  trade  relations  are  fa- 
vorable with  the  StateN.  Naturally  this  is  a  trade  centre  for  all  C'entral 
and  S(jitthern  New  I'.runswick,  and  the  types  of  littiibermati,  Indiati, 
tarmer,  or  llsherinati  that  one  oftens  meets  are  striking  and  pictiiros(|ue 
to  a  degree. 

Of  course  no  otie  would  think  of  leaving  St.  b)hn  without  first  tak- 
ing the  charming  steamer  trip  to  l'"redericton  up  the  river,  nor  any  less 


the  trossach-like  waters  of  Kennebecasis  River.  When  one  does 
leave,  there  is  always  the  choice  of  following  the  Intercolonial  Railway 
to  the  eastern  Provitices.  Prince  I'ldward  or  Cape  ISreton  Islatids,  or 
of  crossing  the  ba\'  to  the  l.itid  of  Evangeline,  Aimapcdis  N'allev,  and 
Halifax  by  the  l'>a\-  of  I'undy  bine. 

While  verv  charming  and  soothitig  in  its  pas- 
River  St.  John,  toral  meanderings,  it  is  a  tritle  far  fetched  to  call 
this  ^.treain  the  "  Rhine  of  America."  To  say  that 
a  river  has  an  itidi\iduality  and  charm  ail  its  own  is  the  greatest  praise 
one  can  be>tow.  It  seems  that  this  can  be  said  very  truthfully  in  that 
the  St.  lohn  cannot  be  cotnpared  to  atiy  other.  If  the  valley  of  the 
Aimai)olis  is  the  "  garden  of  No\a  Scotia,"  then  i>  this  also  the  garden 
of  New  linmswick.  and  a  \ery  large  garden  at  that. 

Leaving  the  (|uiint  landing  at   Indiantown,  just  abo\e  the  bridge 
;nid    falls,  the  comtortable  steamers  of   the  Star    bine  push    out    and

immediately  utilized  in  heating  the  kiln,  the  kihi  in  turn  receive  its 
raw  material  from  the  gypsum  clilTs  overshadowing  it,  and  immediately 
transfer  the  finished  jjrodnct  to  the  hold  of  the  s(  hooner  which  lies 
alongside  and  is  swept  out  by  the  tide  to  an  open  sea  and  the  ports  of 
the  world. 

Having  shaped  our  cuurse  northwest,  and  left  behiml  the  narrow 
gateway  to  the  (Irand  Bay,  which  opens  here,  and  leads  the  delighted 
eye  for  ten  miles  over  its  smiling  surface,  to  rolling  hills  and  fair  farms, 
which  line  the  banks  here  on  either  side.  On  the  inmieiliate  right- 
hand  shore,  standing  defiantly  at  the  entrance  to  Keimebecasis  May,  is 
ISoar's  Head,  its  bristly  summit  justifying  its  name,  (leologists  e.\- 
l)lain  that  the  ri\er  in  prehistorii   times  fotmd  the  sea  by  two  channels,

the  valley  between 
St.  John  Citv  and 
Portland's  Heights. 
The  last-mentioned 
bay,  as  described 
elsewhere,  is  in  picturescpie  charms 
fully  up  to  the  promise  it  gives  as 
seen  from  the  steamer's  deck. 
The  river  (raft  encountered  on  this  tidal  lake  ujion  which  we  are 
sailing  is  entertaining  and  even  amusing  to  a  great  degree,  for  it  is 
not  uncommon  to  meet  or  pass  here  a  half-dozen  or  more  schooners  of 
varied  model  and  rig,  some  in  tow  and  some  undiT  sail  :  old  relics  in 
the  way  of  steamers  wheezily  tugging  long  rafts  of  logs  from  the  upper 
river,  with  now  and  then  a  hay  barge  la/ily  sauntering  down  with  the 
tide,  and  half  a  score  of  tugs  and  pleasure  craft  that  are  always  in  at- 
tendance ujjon  such  a  nautical  assembly  as  we  have  mentioned. 

The  Star  Line  thoughtfully  issues  a  \ery  good  (jutline  map  ot

of  the  farmers  or  c.irly  settlers  are  olfset  1>\  tlic  wild  Indian  nomen- 
<  lature,  rurnishin^'  sue  h  morsels  for  the  tongue  as  Washademoak,  Mns- 
ipiash,  Nashwaak,  (Miiahog,  and  others. 

We  find  on  our  map  as  souvenirs  of  a  former  visit  to  l'"redericton  and 
the  voyage  therei:'  .iiany  shorthand  notes  and  hieroglyphics  which  we 
venture  to  inter])ret  for  the  reader.  .\t  the  licad  of  the  (irand  Hay  is 
a  most  attractive  little  hotel  and  cluster  of  cottages,  known  as  Helyea's, 
a  resort  of  many  St.  John  people,  and,  we  are  told,  a  very  (omfortable 
nook  for  a  summer  rest.  It  is  just  here  the  river  makes  another  turn 
and  a  great  sweej)  directly  northeast,  revealing  the  "  Long  Reach," 
with  its  nevvvariety  of  scene,  hold  hills  and  golden  marshes  alternating. 
The  tiny  white  lighthouse  at  ilelyea's  places  itself,  with  almost  con- 
scious effect,  very  sketchahly  in  front  of  the  noble  "Devil's  liack," 
though  why  the  devil  got  his  back  iijt  so  high  as  four  hundred  and  fifty 
feet  is  not  e.xplained  !  That  dark  person  is  responsible  for  some  very 
striking  scenic  effects,  here  as  elsewhere. 

The  eight  landings  between  Melyea's  and  Sterret's  are  //^'/ all  land- 
ings so  it  would  appear,  for  the  interesting  method  of  leaving  mails  cv 
passengers  obviates  that  tormality  :  here,  the  signal  from  steamer  calls 
from  the  shore  a  wherry  or  row-boat  which  draws  up  by  the 
slowing  steamer,  a  foMing  pair  of  steps  is  dropped,  the  transfer  is  made, 
and  we  are  on  our  wav  in  a  moment.  This  is  only  one  of  many  primitive 
and  ipiaint  customs  met  with  all  the  way  of  the  journey.  (Ireenwich 
Hill  or  I'itts'  Landing  is  another  spot  to  hire  a  saunterer.  ( )ak  Point, 
with  its  "  grassy  island  '"  lUiating  on  the  lu.l  siream.  is  (piite  character- 
istic of  the  river.  The  "  Mistake  "  is  best  explained  by  the  i)ilot  who 
has  sailed  three  miles  behind  its  marshv  ooint  only  to  retrace  his  course 
again.  The  glimpses  both  fc  and  an,  at  this  jx'  at,  are  es])ecially 
pleasing,  not  to  say  beautiful.  'Ihe  course  now  (  hanges  to  north,  the 
river  narrowing  and  growing.'  m'l   ni«ore  tortuous,  threading   its 

way  among  i-lands,  and  b<)un<;«':<i  continuously  bv  the  most  ex(|uisite 
hill  slo|)es,  whose  generous  side>  are  spread  with  fertile  fields  of  vari- 
colored produce,  the  frur  of  the  happ\  farmers  who  are  so  fortunate 
as  to  possess  tii-ni.  The  landsca^>e  is  decsdedly  haiglish  in  llavor, 
and  perhaps  justifies  the  enthusiastic  native  in  his  highly  colored 
comparisons.

ali\e   its  ancient   name. 

The  character  of  the  land    here  is  like  all  that  lies  above  for  thirty 
miles.  —  llat,  i)ro(iuctive,  and  rather  uninteresting  from  a  scenic  point  of 
view,  after  the  variety  and  contrast  ol  the  lower  river.     Passing  Sheffield, 
ISIaugerville,   ( )romocto,   and   Oromocto    River,    whose    upper    waters 
abound  in  trout,  the  lower  in  pickerel,  the  land  of  logs  is  reached,  and 
'■  Cda/iers,"  where  rafts  are  com]-)osed  from  the  great  booms  on  every 
hand,  and  towed  down  stream.     Here  one  sees  the  long-pointed  bayous 
or   "dug-outs,"    of  the   lumbermen,  the   raft  huts   and  curious   stern- 
wheelers  of  the  upper  river,  and  catches  refreshing  sniffs  of  the  odor 
from  new  lumber,  that  leaxes  a  narrow  passage  only  for  the  steamer  as 
it  threads  its  wav  and  brings  into  view  the  spires  of  lo\ely  Fredericton. 
It  is  doubtful  if  in  all  the  Provinces  there  is  a  more 
Fredericton.     delightful  town  than   fredericton,  city,  we  should  say. 
I'he  impression  first   recei\ed  is  abundantly  connrmed 
bv   chiser  ac(]uaintance.      Its   streets  are   beautifully  laid  out,    shaded 
generously  by  the    American   elms   that  grow   so  i)ro:ligally  all  through 
the  \alley.       Its   public,    educational,   and   ecclesiastical  l)uildings  are 
numtTou>  and    e^peciallv  hanil>omr.      Its  Ixitels  are  wellnigh   perfect  ; 
and  a  charming  en\iromnent  of  natural  beaut\-  (oiubinul  with  numer- 
ous avenues  of  access  and  egress  make  it  in  all  wavN  goodl\-  to  look  upon. 
It  is  the  centre  of  a  vast  firming  ( nunlry,  the  distributing  jioint  for 
great   lumber  tracts,  the  centre  of  numerous  rail  lines,  a  notetl  cotton 
manufacturing  town,  and  the  seat  of  Provincial  government,  as  well  as 
normal    sidiool,  university,  and  militia.      I'lie  social  atmo>i)here  is  nat- 
urally ot   a    liigh   order,  and  a  generalK   progre-i-ive   idea   seems  to  ])er- 
\At]v  the  rt  sidents. 

Points  of  e>peci  d  note  are  thi'  New  l'iiun>\vi(k  I 'niver->Uv.  crowning

The  tourist  here  makes  choice  of  returning  to  St.  John  by  rail,  of 
continuing  on  by  the  curious  "  stern-wheelers  "  (if  it  be  high  water) 
to  Woodstock,  of  branching  off  by  rail  along  the  wilds  of  the  Mirami-

north  by  rail  to  \Voodstock.  the  regions  of  wild  Tobique,  mentioned 
elsewhere,  or  the  sublime  scenery  of  (Irand  Falls  and  the  upper  St. 
John.  I'he  scenery  along  the  upper  river  is  \aried  by  many  rugged 
peaks  and  wooded  hills,  attaining  its  greatest  novelty  at  the  mouth  of 
the  Pokiok  Ri\er.  the  outlet  of  Lake  St.  Ceorge,  where  a  wikl  cascade 
comes  tearing  through  rocky  walls  for  several  hundred  feet.  At  Can- 
terbury is  the  portage  to  Clhiputneticook  lakes  and  the  St.  Croix,  at 
Kent  a  portage  to  Miramichi's  waters,  and  at  Andover  the  head(juarters

streams  are  full  of  tro'it,  and  give  good  returns  to  the  rod  that 
reaches  them. 

The  regions  beyond  diese  streams,  and  but  a  few  miles  from  'he 
railway,  are  essentially  an  unexplored  wildernei^s,  full  of  large  game,  nnd 
the  wildest  jjossible  scenery. 

River,  penetrated  for  fifteen  miles  by  a  l)ran(  h  railway, 
The  Tobique  has  certain  elements  of  the  grand  and  picturescpie  not 
possessed  by  any  other  I'mviiicial  stream.  It  runs 
through  a  mountain  grouj)  of  astonishing  grandeur,  a  ])ortion  or  con- 
nection of  the  Alleghany  system,  they  seemingly  assert  their  relation- 
ship bv  ajipearing  in  abru])t  and  striking  forms.      The  lilue  Mountain

attains  an  altitude  of 
eighteen    hundred    feet. 

Sixty  miles  from  its  con- 
fluence with  the  St.  John, 
Tobicpie  "forks"  into  four 
small  streams.  At  this  \)nm[ 
is  a  huge  salmon  ])ool  in 
which  fifty-four  beauties 
ha\  e  been  actually  counted 
at  one  time.  The  right  and 
left  I)r.inches  ha\e  good  fish- 
ing, the  latter  more  espe- 
cially in  trout. 

S(ime  twenty  miles  below  I'erlh,  at  the  little  station  of  Kent,  one  can 
secure  guides,  and  in  fifteen  nnks  of  driving  reach  the  tributaries  of  the 
Miramichi,  where  some  of  the  be>t  salmon  fishing  of  the  Province  may 
be  enjoyed.  The  Soutiiwesl,  Northwest,  Little  Southwest,  and  S.ivogle 
branches  are  all  irood.  'I'he  fish  are  not  large  but  exceedingly  gamy. 
'J'hese  streams  are  said,  by  Mr.  Philip  ('o\  of  Newcastle,  N.  I!.,  to  be 
early,  fish  enteiiiig  them  last  of  May  and  continuing  till  late  Septem- 
ber. Eighteen  thousand  se\en  hundred  salmon  were  taken  from  these 
streams  in  one  year,  and  that  within  i\\v  years.  Fishing  ])rivileges  on 
these  strer.ms  are  mostly  held  liy  the  owners  of  the  lands.  The  Nash-

fish,  but  is  scarcely  to  be  rated  as  a  first-class  stream,  although  any  of  its 
small  tributaries  are  good  trout  waters. 

Coming  down  to  civilization,  many  small  streams  west  of  St.  John, 
along  the  Shore  Line,  are  well  stocked  witii  trout  nuining  up  lo  four 
and  five  pounds'  weight.  'The  same  may  be  said  of  t'/e  brooks  entering 
Kennebecasis  l!ay,  easterly  fror.i  St.  John,  'i'wo  streams,  the  I'pjjer 
Salmon  and  Uig  Salmon,  o.)  e  l^'undy  shore  bet.veen  St.  John  and 
Moncton,  furnish  moderate!  j.od  salmon  fishing,  considering  their 
nearness  to  large  cities. 

I'Vtllowing  the  Intercolonial  Railway,  wliich  is  the  great 

Miramichi.  //V//  line  of  Canada,  the  next  river  of  importance  is  the 

famous  Miramichi,  which  is  crossed  at  Newcastle.       This 

remarkable  stream   is  said  to  have  over  a  hundred  tributaries,  which 

would  certainly  seem  reasonable  on  studying  its  appearance  on  the  map. 

This  river  has  been  a 
great  salmon  water  in 
its  day,  and  is  still  so, 
though  laws  for  its  pro- 
tection until  recently 
have  been  poorly  en- 
forced. 'I'he  govern- 
ment is  doing  mr.ch 
toward  restocking  it, 
and  it  is  ])ossibIe  to 
make  it  what  it  once 
was  in  course  of  lime. 
At  Red  iiank,  less  than 
twelve  miles  from  Newcastle,  and  at  liig  Ibdc  and  1 'cnnis's  ])ools, 
whicii  are  free  fishing,  there  is  fine  >port,  i,ri!se  mav  be  taken  in 
ahuost  anv  of  the  smaller  tributaries,  and  sea  trout  arc  plenty  in  mo>t 
of  the  streams  uitcring  Miraiv.ichi  or  Kouchihouguac  bays,  east  of 
Newcastle.  Shiiijiing  can  pc  ctralc  nearly  fifty  miles  inland,  by  the 
Miramichi,  and  canoes  fur  two  hundred  or  more. 

following  the  Intercolonial   through   fifty  miles  of 
Chaleurs  Bay     uninteresting  country  to   liathurst,  we  are  introduced 
and  to  the  liaies  de  Chaleurs,  that  magnificent  arm  of  t'.e 

Jacquet  River,     ocean  around  which  cling  st)  many  legends  and  super- 
^titions.     iJatliurst    itself    is  a  most  inviting-looking 
town,  and  has  one  hotel,  at  least,  th.it   may  well  claim  to  be  a  smnmer 
resort,  h  iving  a  charming  situation  on  the  \erv  edge  of  the  bay.     The

Nepisigiiit  River  finds  tlie  sea  here,  another  good  salmon  stream,  IhU 
l)etter  salt-water  trouting,  its  estuary  alive  with  them  early  in  the 
season.  About  the  middle  of  May  great  numbers  arc  taken,  weighing 
from  six  jKjunds  downward.  This  is  true  of  the  'i'abucintac  and  Tra- 
radie  Rivers,  a  few  miles  south.  lUit  for  sport  with  the  gun  commend 
me  to  this  place  indeed  '.  for  did  not  the  writer  see  die  harbor  black 
with  geese,  and  the  delicious  blue-winged  duck,  one  stinging  October 
morning?  American  sportsmen  come  here  for  moose  and  caribou,  as 
well  as  the  smaller  game. 

The  Jaccpiet  River,  at  station  of  that  name,  is  just  above  Bathurst, 
ranks  s  a  wonderfully  good  sea-trout  stream,  and  furnishes  very  good 
small  salmon  or  grilse  fishing.  For  jnire  gaminess,  the  sea  trout,  when 
caught  with  the  lly  in  these  rapid  waters,  is  closely  akin  to  the  salmon, 
showing  sjilendid  fighting  (pialities  and  immense  activity. 

The  Millers  at  Sunnyside  are  good  guides  and  canoeists,  and  will 
indicate  to  the  sportsman  such  holes  as  are  free  on  the  river,  from  Big 
Hole  Hrojk  down  the  tweive  miles  to  Barclay's,  where  is  found  a  cozy 
seashore  hotel.     The  scenery  along  this  stream  is  wild  and  romantic. 

Charlo  River,  a  few  miles  farther  north,  is  another  sea-trout  and 
brook-trout  stream,  the  former  of  five-pound  weight  and  under,  the 
latter  from  four  pounds  down  to  one  half  pound.  In  fact,  nearly  '^ny  of 
the  small  rivers  flowing  into  ]3ay  of  Chaleurs  are  good  fishing  from  May 
until  September. 

A  short  spur  of  the  railway  at  Dalhousie  junction 
Dalhousie.  leads  to  the  great  watering  place,  Dalhousie,  and  the  large 
summer  hotel.  Inch  Arran.  Fine  bathing  is  enjoyed  here, 
magnificent  views  across  to  the  ( )uebec  shore,  the  glorious  mountains  of 
l>onaventure,  and  out  over  the  beautiful  Chaleurs  (that  bewitch- 
ing expanse)  the  towering  cliffs  of  Tracadiegash  at  (lasp^.  Steamer 
trips  are  made  to  the  bit  of  France  out  yonder,  where  all  the  (]uaint 
customs  and  dress  of  the  Breton  fishermen  are  retained,  to  a  large  degree. 

The  Indian  name  for  this  bay  is  I'xketuam  Xemaache,  meaning  "a 
sea  of  fish  "  ;  exceedingly  apropos  it  is,  too.  Dalhousie  is  practically 
at  the  mouth  or  estuary  of  the  famed  Restigouche.  At  Campbellton,  a 
few  miles  above,  and,  in  fact,  all  the  way  along  the  rail  route  is  had  an 
inspiring  view  of  the  waters,  an  almost  primeval  mountain  forest  lying 
beyon;!,  the  little  settlement  of  Indian  Point  sleeping  at  their  feet,  near 
the  historic  ruins  of  Petite  Rochelle. 

The  Intercolonial  have  chosen  this  view,  quite  wisely,  as  the  subject 
for  a    picture,  whose  reproduction    has  recently  been   accomplisheil.

Tlu'  same  good  t.iste  selcrteil  the  (|iiitr  ideal  "  meeting  of  the  waters" 
just  al)o\e  tor  a  similar  jjurpose. 

We   could    scarcely  do   better  tlian    to    take 
The  Restigouche.     hodily   Mr.  Kilby   Reynolds's  description  of  tiiis 

king  of  salmon  streams  and  reprint  it  here,  con- 
taining, as  it  does,  ^o  much  of  fact  and  suggestion  ;  we  shall  beg  Ids 
indulgence  for  a  littk'  "cribbing."  lirietly  stated,  this  ri\er  is  two  liun- 
dred  miles  long,  draining  with  its  tributaries  niort'  than  two  thousand 
Sipiare  miles,  a  Ian  1  of  mountain  and  vale,  primeval  forest  and  smiling 
meadow  :  flowing  from  silent  spring  lakes  and  leaping  cascades,  ])ur- 
suing  a  tortuous  course,  full  of  "runs"  and  torrents,  to  wander  with 


silent  content  out  into  the  green  leagues  of  Chaleur.  Its  swift  currents 
are  la-hed  by  a  thousand  thousand  leai)ing  trout,  its  silvery  bed  mot- 
tled by  the  silent  shadows  of  lusty  salmon. 

There  are  many  conflicting  interpretations  of  this  Indian  name, 
one  with  imaginative  ta>te  making  it  "  l''ive- lingered  Kiver,"  appro- 
priately ;  another,  quite  ])Ositi\ely,  ([noting  old  missionary  chronicles, 
••  RIn  er  of  the  Long  War."  Whatever  it  means,  it  is  a  noble  stream, 
and  th^-  ec>ta.-.y  of  a  true  sportsman. 

Regarding  its  fishing,  nearly  all  the  best  pools  are  hekl  by  lessees, 
prin'',ipally  the  Re--tig(juche  Salmon  (.'lub  and  a  few  other  American 
^'.-ndernen.     'Ihe    river  is    not    leased    abcn-e   (^)uatawamke(lgwick,  as

these  upper  wMvr^  are  not  tspecially  good  (i>>lunL;-.  Proper  letters  of 
introduction  will  secure  the  privilege  of  casting  on  most  any  of  the 
large  pools.  Salmon  of  fifty  pounds'  weight  are  often  tiken,  the  aver-

from  Metapedia  to  Newport  on  tlie  nortli  shore  of  tlie  bay  are 
a  half-do/en  superb  salmon  streams,  the  (Irand  C'ascapedii  being  the 
best,  yielding  fish  up  to  fifty-six  pounils ;  and  farther  over,  the  York 
near  (laspc,  whose  fish  run  from  fifteen  to  forty-five  pounds' weight. 
Splendid  trout  fishing  prevails  in  the  streams  entering  the  south  shore  of 
St.  J.awrence  River,  the  St.  .Anna's  ranks  high  as  a  salmon  stream  also. 

.At  Cacouna  is  the  great  and  po])ular  resort  of  St.  Lawrence  Hall, 
perhaps  the  most  famous  watering  place  in  Canada,  with  its  splendid 
beaches,  noble  St.  Lawrence  panorama,  and  pure  bracing  air.  At 
Riviere  du  Loup,  near  by,  steamers  of  the  Saguenay  and  St.  I,awrence 
River  lines  touch,  affording  another  rare  excursion  up  either  of  these 
famed  waters,  and  e\  en  to  the  wilds  of  Lake  St.  John  in  the  far  north. 
Here  a^o  is  connection  made  with  the  Canadian  Pacific  for  (irand 
Falls  and  other  points  of  interest  along  the  river  and  to  the  city  of  St. 
John,  or  back  to  St.  Andrews  and  St.  Stei)hen  mentioned  heretofore. 

Some  forty-five  miles  or  more  eastward  from  Riviere  du  Loup  and 
two  or  three  miles  from  St.  Fabien  station  is  a  group  of  lakelets  con- 
taining quantities  of  trout  which  are  said  to  accept  bait  or  lly  from 
early  June  till  late  August,  and  at  the  next  station  is  Bic,  "little  IJic," 
the  acme  of  all  an  artist  or  wonder  seeker  could  desire,  with  its  great

ary. The  penalty  for  the  violation  of  these  provisions  is  from  $t,o  to 
S50,  and  a  fine  of  S25  is  imposed  for  hunting  with  dogs.  Woodcock 
must  not  be  killed  before  sunrise  or  after  sunset.  lUue-winged  duck 
must  not  l)e  taken  between  the  first  days  of  .April  and  August.  The 
amiual  licenses  for  non-residents  e.xpire  on  the  isi  of  August.  They 
cost  iri^^o  each. 

There  are,  also,  other  details  regarding  (iuantit\ ,  manner  of  killing, 
diessing,  etc.,  which  the  interested  can  find  from  tlie  Intercolonial  and 
^^'indsor  and  Annapolis  Railway  guides,  or  the  government  publica- 
tions. New  Ikuiiswick  is  doing  much  of  late  to  enforce  her  laws  on 
seining  and  spearing,  as  well  as  restocking  her  streams,  but  Nova 
Scotia  needs  a  vigorous  stirring  u[)  on  this  (piestion.  At  present  there 
are  in  the  latter  Province  but  one  or  two  really  good  salmon  streams, 
while  there  are  very  many  good  trout  and  sea-trout  streams  along  her 
coast  line.

I  laving  (k'citled  upon  tin-  "  all  rail  "  route  to 
Eastward  Again.     rc;i(  ii   ihc  far  lla^t  i.f  our  anticipations,  the  fine 

station  of  tlu-  Intercolonial  Railway  of  Canada 
will  1)0  our  starling  point  an<l  may  he  ac<  t'pted  as  an  indication  of  the 
progressive  nianasenientof  "  the  people's  own  "  line.  'I'liis  is  our  intro- 
duction to  C'anadi:ui  railways  ;  and  if  any  one  has  had  doubts  as  to  the 
comfort  or  speed  of  such  service,  or  the  feasibility  of  government 
management,  let  them  be  dispelled  forthwith. 

The  track  follows  the  supposed  former  bed  of 
KennebecasiA.  the  St.  John  for  two  or  three  miles,  when  it  skirts  the 
shores  of  lovely  Kennebecasis.  There  is  something 
bewitciiing  about  this  name,  and  the  waters  themselves  are  none  the 
less  so,  retaining  as  they  do  the  wiidness  of  their  primitive  state  to  a 
great  degree.  The  stations,  like  tin-  scenery,  are  suggestive  of  the 
Scotch  Highlands,  for  there  is  Torryburu  and  Rothesay,  and  a  few 
miles  south  the  fair  waters  of  I.ocli  l.oinond. 

For  upward  of  twenty  miles  the  rail  clings  ( losely  to  the  shore  ot 
Kennebecasis,  the  smnmer  homes  of  St.  John's  best  people  lining  the 
route  almost  continuously.  At  Rothesay  is  the  Rothesay  Hall,  a  very 
comfortable  summer  hotel,  and  the  best  i)oint  from  which  to  enjoy  or 
explore  the  bay  and  tributaries.  \'early  opposite,  across  the  water, 
lies  the  charming  village  of  Clitton,  in  every  way  fitted  to  the  lovely 
setting  of  landscape  provided  for  it. 

l!e\ond  Ilam]iton  the  bay  narrows  to  a  stream,  and  the  stream, 
meantlering  among  lovely  meadows  and  confining  hills,  is  in  turn  lost 
in  little  brooks  that  here  and  there  send  out  a  gleam  of  silver,  then 
follow  a  few  miles  of  hopelessly  barren  and  unattractive  country  re- 
deemed later  by  the  qu.iint  I'rench  settlements  that  line  the  Anagance 
River,  leaving  their  impress  on  nomenclature  as  well  as  landscape. 

Very  curious  and  entertaining  is  the  study  of  the  time  tables  rdong 
these  C^anadian  railways.  Indian,  I'rench,  and  Scotch  names  blend  in 
a  good-nitured  medley,  and  in  licate  the  character  of  the  early  settlers, 
if  nothing  more,  in  many  instances  the  result  is  a  blending  of  French- 
Indian,  as  in  I'etic  (jcliac  or  I'etitcodiac.  It  is  also  very  interesting  to 
note  how  the  early  settlers  have  influenced  the  contours  and  general 
aspecc  of  the  country  they  have  settled  ;  this  is  more  notably  true  in 
(Jue'oec  and  jiarts  of  Eastern  Xova  Scotia  and  Cape  I'.reton,  where 
priiiiitive  conditions  jHX-vail  to  an  unusual  degree. 

The  little  Anagance  River  is  typical  of  nearly  all  streams  entering 
the  Ray  of  Fundy,  in  that  it  exists,  and  then  again  does  not,  it  may  be

full  and  overtlowing  with  a  too  geiKToiis  title  at  oiu  hour,  and  a  \cry 
fi'w  hours  later  a  muddy  gash  in  the  lands(  ape,  its  sides  reeking  with 
glistening  slime.  We  mu-.t  confess  to  a  strange  fascination  in  these 
tidal  antics,  a  fascination  nol  lesseneil  by  a  several  weeks'  intimacy. 

Such  picturesque  names  as  l'luuicsweei»,  l'eiiol)si|uis,  and  Anagance 
greet  the  ears  and  lead  to  Salis!)ury,  where  detours  <  an  be  made  to 
the  famous  fishing  grounds  of  I'olkt  or  ("anaan  Rivers,  and  on  to 
the  great  railway  town  of  New  ISnmswick,  the  ( entre  ot 
Moncton,  the  Intercolonial  system  of  railways,  anil  a  thriving  pro- 
gressive  city  of  more  than  ten  thousand  souls. 

It  may  not  be  considered  a  compliment  by  a  Monctonian,  but  to  an 
American  the  city  is  ])erhaps  more  like  those  of  his  own  country  than 
almost  any  he  will  fiml  in  Canada.  Its  rapid  growth  in  a  fe\»  years,  from 
a  provincial  hamlet  to  the  hustling  city  of  the  present  time,  is  alst)  sug- 
gesti\e  of  the  American  idea.  The  fine  ami  imposing  office  1 'lilding  of 
the  Intercolonial  is  at  the  left  cf  the  station  on  entering  from  the  we-.i. 
The  great  sjjectacle  of  Moncton  is  its  "bore,"  a  most  astonishing 
effect  of  the  iMMidy  tides,  which  come  tearing  up  the  I'etitcodiac  River 
bed  in  an  impetuous  wall  of  water  from  four  to  eiglit  feet  in  heii  .,i.  ; 
this  is  truly  worthy  of  a  stop  for  the  express  purpose  of  witnes.  ing, 
and  adds  one  more  to  the  already  numerous  phenomena  of  Fundy. 

Moncton  is  also  the  great  distributing  point  for  tourists,  northward, 
eastward,  and  southward  :  northward  to  the  great  fishing  streams,  the 
l!ay  of  Chaleiir,  the  St.  Lawrence  and  (Quebec,  which  have  been  men- 
tioned elsewhere  ;  eastward  to  the  Prince  Mdward  Island  ;  southward 
to  Nova  Scotia  and  the  noble  island  of  Cape  lireton.  We  shall  en- 
deavor to  suggest  briefly  to  the  reader  a  few  of  the  allurements  of  all 
the  latter  sections  in  the  following  pages.

HH  Inlenolc/iiial  Railway  carries  the  traveller  tweKe 
or  tjiirteen  miles  eastward  to  the  landiiiijof  the  I'riiiee 
Mdward  Jslaiid  .\a\igation  Company,  at  Point  dii 
("hene,  where  c(jmmodious  new  steamers  cross  the 
Straits  of  Northumberland.  We  pass  on  the  way  the 
attractive  town  of  Shediac,  where  bathing  can  actually 
l)e  enjoyed  in  mild  waters,  and  oysters  of  most 
delicate  !|uality  served  galore  in  every  style. 

I'roni  Point  du  (hene  to  Summer.iide  it  is  thirty- 
five  miles  of  <lelightful  sailing,  and  it  is  hard  to  imagine 
the  nearly  insu|)erable  barrier  that  sei)arates  these  two 
]joints  in  winter,  in  the  f(jrni  (jf  ice-lioes  that  shut  oft 
communication  almost  completely.  At  times  the  only 
means  of  conveyance  is  by  open  boats  from  Cape 
'rormentine,  \.  P.,  to  Cape  Traverse  on  the  island, 
which  are  ])ushed  thiough  or  dragged  over  the  tloating 
ice  cakes  at  great  peril.  It  is  not  unnatural,  then, 
that  the  Inland  Pnu  incc  should  haw  its  separate  exist-

dice  and  Iri^islature,  the  smallest  of  the  cuiifedcration.  Tiiis  ti-ht  Httle 
island,  the  "Carden  of  Canada"  it  is  called,  is  thirty-four  miles  by  one 
liiiiidred  and  fifty,  and  it  would  seem  that  not  a  foot  of  its  area  was 
nii|)roductive,  for  it  has  no  lofty  hills,  no  rocks,  and  little  forest,  with  a 
ri'h   red  loam  that   responds  , generously  to  the  hand   of  the  cadlivator. 

It  is  evident  why  the  natives  should  be  dubbeil  "  Redfeet,"  but  not 
a>  explainable  that  New-lSrunswickers  are  called  "  i'.uckwlieats,"  or 
N(jva-Scotians  "  iiluenoscs,"  but  they  ha\e  all  accepted  their  nick- 
names philosophically  as  becomes  the  true  Cmadian. 

'i'hc  island  has  evidently  been  appreciated  from  the  firs'.,  for  it  has 
suffered  an  almost  ceaseless  dispute  over  the  land  (juestion  for  nearly  a 
century.  Discovereil  by  ("abot,  vvho  named  it  St.  lohn,  the  llnglish 
fuliui^  to  take  jjossession,  it  was  claimed  by  the  I'rench  in  152:;,  who 
established  fisheries.  'The  treaty  of  Fontainebleau  !j;ave  the  island  to 
(ireat  Ihitain,  who  ^ave  it  its  present  name.  'I'he  two  millions  or 
mcjre  acres  were  divided  into  sixty-six  lots  aiid  awarded  to  as  many 
grantees  ;  the  usual  difticailties  between  a  bxMJ  -oNernment  and  a  king's 
governor  followed,  resulting  in  a  drawn  battle.  'The  purchase  by 
colonial  government  and  redistribution  of  lands  under  di>i)Ute  only  par- 
tidly  scjlved  the  problem,  which  now  seems  decided  by  the  conditions 
reipiired  since  the  island  ioined  the  confederation.  Since  the  union 
with  the  Provinces  in  iSjj;,  and  the  building  of  a  railroad  through  llu' 
inland,  prosperity  seems  to  have  grown  ap-ace. 

(  )f  course,  agriculture  is  the  one  great  industry,  its  prolucts  exported 
to  the  amount  of  f)ver  a  million  dollars  ;  its  fisheries  next,  with  an  export 
of  nearly  a  half-million  dollars  value.  .\  sta_\-  of  however  short  dura- 
tion re\eals  the  tact  that  the  Kedfeel  have  guilen  product-,  in  (|uan- 
titv  and  (piality  unexcelled  anywhen-.  Oysters,  al^o,  of  a  peculiarly 
delicate  ibu'or,  are  raked  from  the  shores  of  many  bays,  ha\ing  a 
reputation  all  over  (Canada. 

As  the  steamer  approaches  the  island,  the  lust 
Summerside.  land  lighted  is  the  headland  of  Cape  i:gmnnt.  in  the 
fir  north,  after  which  the  coiu->e  leads  into  iledecpie 
lla\'  and  tlu'  b'i>\  shipbuilding  town  of  S'lmmer^ide.  In  this  harbor  lies 
a  picturescpie  little  i-.land  at  the  mouth  of  the  I  >uiik  Ki\  er.  which  has  bei'H 
for  se\eral  \earM|uitea  resort,  with  its  hotel  and  wood-y  roads.  Prince 
l'.dw,:r.l  NIand  is  but  three  miles  wide  just  here,  the  bay  of  Richmond 
peijetraling  to  that  |)oint  on  the  other  side.  .\  little  trip  b\-  rail  to  'rigiii-h 
will  rt'veal  the  ipiaint  settlements  inland  and  alongshore  of  Scotch  and

is  the  important  city  of  the  island,  is  attractively 
Charlottetown     and  generously'laid  out,  and  has  a  population  ap- 

proachintj  twelve  thousand.  Its  scjuare  full  of  llow- 
erinii;  ])lantsand  wcll-arrani^fcd  walks  is  surroiuided  by  substantial,  not  to 
say  handsome  buildings,  that  might  do  honor  to  a  more  important  city. 
With  all  of  its  local  attractions,  Charlottetown  offers  a  series  of  delight- 
ful land  and  water  excursions  and  a  host  of  fishing  waters  that  are  truly 
remarkable.  Steamers  run  three  times  a  week  to  (Jrwell,  on  the  east- 
ern shore  of  llill^bjro'  I!ay,  twice  weekly  to  West  River,  a  good  sea- 
trout  fishing  water,  and  nearly  every  day  to  Rocky  Point.  All  of  these 
trips  reveal  singular  beauty  of  land  and  water-scajjc.     'i  he  hills,  though

not  high  or  abiupt,  are  gently  undulating,  and  fresh  with  the  colors  of 
thrift V  farm  pro(hiction,  slojte  gently  to  the  shores,  where  oftentimes 
the  eye  is  caught  by  glorious  patches  of  the  bright  orange  and  red  of 
the  red  sandstone,  and  rises  abruptly  in  jjlaces  to  a  height  of  fiftv  or 
seventy-five  feet. 

Charlottetown's  ])osition  at  the  head  of  a  great  bay  and  at  the  juric- 
tion  of  three  consiilerable  rivers  gives  it  great  advantage  as  a  resort, 
and  its  hotels  in  two  or  three  instances  are  such  as  to  encourage  a  pro- 
tracted stay. 

a  town  on  the  north  shore,  is  a  most  delightful  little  resort,  with 
Rustico,  good  bathing  and  boating,  and  if  ]K)ssible  better  fishing  along 
the  Hunter  River.  The  eastern  section  from  Douglas  to  Souris 
is  composed  largely  of  Ciaelii  settlements,  where  the  names,  the  cus- 
toms, and  all  the  little  details  of  life  are  thoroughly  primitive  and  en- 
joyable. At  St.  Peter's  some  good  salmon  or  sea-trout  fishing  may  be 
enjoyed,  and  in  fact  nearly  all  the  ri\ers  along  the  coast  line  are  noted 
for  their  good  fishing. 

'i'he  hos])itality  of  the  Redfoot  is  proverbial.  A  journey  across 
country  on  foot,  or  a  pad  He  up  any  of  the  numerous  canoealile  streams, 
with  rod  or  gun,  will  bring  one  in  touch  with  tlie  warm  hearts  and 
simjile  manners  of  the  Scotch  settlers,  as  well  as  the  haunts  of  feathered 
game  that  inhabit  the  island  generally.  The  western  end  of  the  island 
is  the  favored  locality  f(jr  the  gunner,  Cascumpe(|ue  Harbor  in  particu- 
lar should  be  mentione(b 

The  possibilities  for  a  roundabout  route,  taking  in  other  attractions 
upon  the  return,  are  great.  For  one  may,  instead  of  retracing  the  route 
via  Summerside  and  Point  du  C'hene,  leave  the  island  at  Charlottetown, 
crossing  by  steamer  to  Pictou  on  the  Nova  Scotia  shore  of  the  mainland. 
We  are  now  ui^on  the  true  peninsula  of  Nova  Scotia,  in  reaching  which, 
without  the  tour  of  Prince  lubvard  Island,  the  route  is  from  Moncton 
—  the  junction  point  to  which  we  first  came  from  St.  John  — by  rail 
of  the  Intercolonial  through  Painsec  junctic^n,  where  the  detour  was 
made  to  Point  du  Chene,  the  i).)int  of  eml)arkatii)n  for  the  island. 

Truro  is  the  junction  point  for  Halifax,  needless  to  name  as  the 
metropolis  of  Nova  Scotia.  Here  the  main  line  of  the  railway  dps 
sharply  down  to  the  Atlantic,  while  the  Pictou  branch  turns  in  the 
opposite  direction  to  find  us  just  landed  froin  the  Prince  Fdwaril 
Island  boat,  or  steaming  down  over  the  intervening  eleven  miles  from 
Pictou  Wharf  to  meet  the  train  from  Moncton,  and  through  Moncton, 
St.  John,  at  New  Glasgow.

'I'o  re;ich  Nova  Scotia  and  Cape  lircton  by  rail  one  leaves 
Moncton  by  the  Intercolonial,  passes  through  Painsec  Junction, 
and  then  is  carried  with  a  swirl  southward  along  the  Memranicook 
and  out  on  the  great  marshes  of  the  same  name.  It  is  not  too  much 
to  declare  this  marsh  land  the  most  impressive  on  Canadian  territory,  if 
not  on  the  continent.  Near  Memranicook  station  and  from  thence  to 
I )orchester  it  reaches  its  full  grantleur,  the  broad  and  sim])le  planes, 
l)roken  here  and  there  by  the  tidal  river,  or  the  clustering  haystacks, 
and  beyond  the  (piite  iairoi-ean  settlement  of  St.  Joseph's  College  on  a 
low  hill  dominating  the  picture. 

At  Dorchester,  Sheiiody  Bay  is  encountered,  the  ujiper  extremity 
of  Chignecto  Channel,  an  arm  of  Fundy.  It  is  here  and  also  at 
Amherst,  a  few  miles  fartlier  beyond,  that  the  tides  pile  themselves  to 
such  tremendous  heights,  sixtv  feet  being  the  maximum  ;  here  also  the 
I'ititcodiac  and  Meuiramcook  waters  meet.  Dorchester  is  an  attrac- 
tive old  town,  is  jjossessed  of  much  wealth  and  stately  homes,  but  at 
present  seems  to  be  taking  a  somewhat  lengthy  nap  :  this  is  rather  i)leas- 
ing  than  otherwise,  however,  to  a  tourist.  Sackville  pcjssesses  what  is 
lacking  in  Dorchester,  —  much  jnish  and  activity,  less  attractiveness  and 
i]uaintness :  shipbuilding  is  the  all-abscubing  occupation,  the  ring  t)f 
the  mallet  re-echoing  from  the  hillsides  all  along  the  north  shore  of 
Cumberland  Basin,  which  lies  to  the  southward. 

From  Sack\ille  a  branch  railwax  runs  across  the  fertile  conntrv  of 
Westmoreland  County  to  Ca]>e  Tounnentine,  on  the  Norfhuiaberland 
Strait,  the  winter  port  of  Prince  I'.dward  Island  boat>.  From  Sack- 
ville, also,  the  train  glides  out  on  the  great  marshes  of  'I'ar-tramar,  the 
Tintaiiia;  re  of  the  l'"rench,  signif\ing  "  a  hubbub,''  a  r.aine  well  illus- 
trated at  the  incoming  or  outgoing  of  the  tide.  I'his  vast  area  is  re- 
claimed by  dikes,  and  at  the  head  of  the  mar^h  is  one  of  the  greatest 
plover  grounds  in   Canada. 


This  region  is  liistoric  ground,  the  scene  of  those  stirring  events  so 
fascinatingly  jjictured  by  Paikman.  'I'he  httle  Missiguash  River  just 
beyond  Aulac  station  was  made  by  the  French  the  dividing  line  be- 
tween their  territory  and  that  of  the  I'.nglish,  ])Ianting  old  Fort  r>eau- 
sejour,  now  Fort  Cumberland,  just  here  to  defend  their  claim.  A  little 
below  are  the  remains  of  the  opposing  I'"urt  Lawrence,  back  of  which 
stood  the  Acadian  settlement  of  Jh^'iN/'assin.  'i'he  tiny  stream  still 
serves  as  the  boundary  of  two  jirovmces,  and  as  we  cross  it  we  enter 
the  land  of  the  "  IJluenose,"  the  storied  soil  of  Acadi.i,  and  shortly 
after  pull  up  at  Amherst  station,  .\mherst,  aside  from  rich  agricultnral 
and  mining  interests,  is  noticeable  as  the  western  terminal  of  the  great 
Chignecto  Marine  Railway  that  was  to  be,  and  whose  interrupted 
works  are  pas.'-^^d  a  mile  or  twi>  before  enterirg  the  town.  From 
here  also  runs  a  funny  liitl'  rniiang  railway  to  the  Joggins,  on  Cumber- 
land Ikisin,  the  same  of  jo-f^ins  rafc  fame,  and  even  more  notabie  to 
geologists  for  its  rich  fossil  K;a,  sins  -leuig  the  cliffs  that  line  the  shore. 

Evidences  of  coal  mining  are  frequent  about  here,  for  this  is  the 
renowned  Cumberland  coal  distvi  I,  one  of  the  richest  among  Nova 
Scotia's  rich  mining  }K)Ssessions.  Of  the  nearly  two  million  tons  of 
coal  mined  annually  in  Nova  Scotia,  these  mines  contribute  some  hal!- 
ni!lMon,or  about  one  fourth.  Along  the  line,  at  numerous  points,  spurs 
of  railway  run  off  to  i.iines  in  either  direction  ;  while  at  Spring  Flill 
juncti  /i,  the  Cumberlanvl  Railway  runs  across  to  Parrsborough  and  the 
Basin  of  Minas,  into  certainly  one  of  the  most  romantic  bits  of  coun- 
try in  allth.'  Provinces,  indeed,  we  should  name  it  among  four  or  five 
sections  as  e^j'ecially  worthy  the  traveller's  attention.  A  further  de- 
scription of  Minas  will  be  found  under  the  head  of  Nova  Sco/ia,  else- 
where. 

At  Oxford  Junction  again,  another  branch  railway  of  the  Inter- 
colonial runs  out  over  the  rich  country  of  Tatamagouche  and  Pictou, 
returning  to  the  main  line  at  New  Clasgow.  From  Wentworth  the 
train  begins  a  long  climb  of  several  miles  up  the  slope  of  the  Cobe- 
quid  Mountains,  that  line  the  northern  shore  of  the  picturesque  bay 
of  the  same  name.  The  outlook,  which  has  been  monotonous  and 
limited,  now  opens  into  a  landscape  of  irresistible  beauty ;  one  of 
quiet  pastoral  charm,  as  seen  from  a  high  mountain ;  stretching  away 
for  miles  toward  the  strait,  reaching  its  climax  with  the  enthusiasm  of 
the  beholder  near  Folly  Lake,  a  little  eye  set  in  its  deep  mountain

which  is  at  the  head  of  Cobequid  IJay,  is  a  charming 
Truro,  town ;  large,  prosperous,  aristocratic  looking,  in  fact,  to 
Nova  Scotia  what  Fredericton  is  to  New  IJrunswick,  the 
most  attractive  of  its  size.  It  possesses  a  remarkably  pretty  park  and 
ih  :  most  varied  assortment  of  drives  across  mountain  or  marsh,  and 
i'.et'ds,  we  must  add,  a  ,i,w^</  hotel.  It  is  here  that  the  lines  diverge, 
running  along  the  fertile  valley  and  capricious  waters  of  Shubenacadie 
River,  (Irand  Lake,  and  Bedford  Basin  to  Halifax  ;  or  reaching  out  to 
ih..*  breezy  isle  of  Cape  Breton,  whither  we  are  journeying. 

is  an  intensely  practical  mining  town,  possessing  many 
New  Glasgow  strong  reminders  along  its  streets  and  lanes  of  its 
(laelic  founders.  Their  stamj)  is  upon  it  as  upon 
all  tlie  country  from  here  eastward  to  Scatari  Island,  'i'he  mines  here 
and  at  Stellarton  are  extensive  and  valuable,  and  to  those  who  have 
never  seen  such,  interesting  and  accessible. 

F'rom   New  Glasgow   to   Antigonish    are   stations 

Antigonish.     whose  names  are  either  Scotch  or  Indian,  little  towns 

among   fertile    fields   or  along  marshy  streams ;  with 

now  and  then  a  glimpse  across  to  the  .Vntigonish  Mountains.     We  are 

in  the  suggestively  named  townships  of  Maxwelton  and  .'\rrisaig. 

Approaching  the  fair  town  of  Antigonish,  the  striking  twin  towers 
of  the  Scotch  Cathedral  of  St.  Ninian  attract  the  eye  and  dominate 
the  scene,  acting  as  a  foil  to  the  prevailing  horizontal  lines  of  the  land- 
scape. We  recall  how  grateful  Warner  found  the  sight  of  this  town  in 
his  (juest  of  Baddcck.  The  American  elm  grows  plentifully  here,  com- 
bining with  other  fair  features  to  make  it  an  alluring  retreat  for  "the 
traveller  who  desires  nothing  but  unrestricted  lotus-eating." 

One  of  the  leading  products  of  Nova  Scotia  is  gypsum,  of  which 
Antigonish  quarries,  that  honeycomb  the  great  cliffs  on  (leorge  Bay  a 
few  miles  northward,  yield  a  very  large  proportion.  Some  most  re- 
markable contrasts  of  color  are  seen  in  a  drive  or  sail  from  Antigonish 
to  Cape  St.  George,  the  dazzling  white  cliffs  of  gypsum  rising  in  places 
two  hundred  feet  above  the  turquoise-hued  waters  of  the  bay.  It  is 
here  too  that  a  journey  southward  may  be  made  into  the  forest  wilds 
of  central  Nova  Scotia,  with  their  herds  of  moose  and  deer;  a  wilder- 
ness that  reaches  withTew  interruptions  from  (luysborough  easterly  to 
Halifiix  westerly.  Still  flirther  are  the  primitive  fishing  hamlets  that 
line  the  irregular  shores  of  the  southern  coast.

About  tlio  only  thing  of  interest  between  Antigoiiisii  and  Mulgrave 
is  the  I  rappist  Monastery  near  Traradie,  at  a  station  called  Monastery, 
a  very  ancient  and  peculiar  institution,  whose  intent  is  evidently  to 
give  olijert  lessons  in  farming  and  simple  living,  'i'he  close  observer 
will  hardly  fail  to  notice  on  the  left  a  most  picturcs(iue  cluster  of  silvery 
gray  buildings,  ()\cr  which  peeps  the  ipiite  foreign-looking  spire  and 
cross  of  a  chapel.  It  is  anodier  ancient  establishment,  a  nunnery,  and 
a  relic  of  old  Acadian  days. 


V'rom  this  ])(jint  on,  the  frequent  outcropping  of  brilliant  white 
patches  of  gypsum  indicates  the  chi\racter  of  the  soil,  afforiling  also 
enlivening  contrasts  to  the  deep  green  of  the  forests  on  either  hand. 
Beyond  Harbvi  an  Boiichc\.\\i^  bristling  head  of  Cape  Porcupine  looms 
up  over  the  wilderness,  a  glimpse  of  far-away  (leorge  Hay  is  caught, 
then  the  train  swings  sharply  to  the  right  and  with  app.ied  brakes  we 
glide  down  into 

with  the  glorious  Strait  of  Canso,  across  it  the  I'ltima 
Mulgrave,  Thule  of  our  travels  and  ex])ectations,  the  fiiir  island  of 

Cape  Breton.  C'anso,  or  Canseau,  is  said  to  be  the  French 
derivation,  as  in  so  many  instances  hereabouts,  of  the  Indian  word 
Kamsok,  "  stee])  blufi's."  'i  he  name  is  apt,  for  on  either  hand  the  fine 
cliffs  of  Porcupine  or  Pirates'  Cove  droj)  ])recipitately  from  an  altitude 
of  nearly  five  hundred  feet  into  the  strait,  holding  between  mem  the 
curious  little  Scottish  settlement  of  McNair's  Cove.  Along  this  great 
waterway  moves  a  ne\  er-ending  procession  of  the  commerce  from  every 
nation  of  civilization,  tor  it  is  the  short  cut  between  the  ( ities  of  the 
north  and  the  outer  world. 

In  approaching  the  i^lanil  v)f  Cape  P.rcton  from  this  ])oint,  two 
main  avenues  are  offered,  cme  by  the  ferry  of  the  Intercolonial  to  its

,'aviii^f  Miilgrave  by  ISras  d'Or  ^.tcanier,  we  steam  down 
the  strait  past  mysterious  I'irates'  C'ovc,  past  the  expectant 
inilet  of  Mclford,  for  this  is  the  spot  where  "  Terminal 
ilv  "  i.-;  supposed  to  have  made  a  beginninj^'.  \\  hile 
we  are  rounding  Hear  Hearl  on  the  left,  and  appro.n  h 
ing  the  Lennox  passage,  it  may  be  (^i)portune  to  generalize  a  little  on 
this  rtniarkable  island  of  Cape  Iketon.  Its  history  begins  i)ra(  lically 
with  Mie  I'crtuguese  colony,  which  in  the  early  fifteen  hundreds  was 
establi;:hed  in  the  little  bay  of  St.  Peter's,  then  I'ort  'roulouse,  and 
whose  memory  is  kejjt  alive  only  by  the  names  that  have  come  down 
from  them  intact  through  the  years  of  subsetpient  history.  The  sturdy 
Bretor;s  who  succeeded  them  have  left  their  imprint  on  I'very  ])art  of 
the  island,  the  name  of  which  itself  was  given  by  them.  The  complicated 
struggles  fur  possession  of  this  valued  spot  by  French  and  English,  realiz- 
ing its  importance  as  a  strategic  point  in  N(jrth  America,  constitute  one 
of  the  most  intensely  interesting  chapters  in  New  World  history. 

At  present  the  island  is  essentially  a  new  Scotland,  large  portions 
of  it  being  inhabited  by  the  ( iaels,  while  a  few  settlements  are  almost 
wholly  French,  as  at  Chcticami)  on  north  sh  ire  and  Isle  Madame, 
which  we  are  now  approaching,  and  between  which  and  the  mainland 
is  Lennox  I'assage.  The  tenacity  with  which  the  customs  and  tradi- 
tions of  the  mother  countries  are  retained  among  these  people  makes 
the  human  interest  of  the  region  especially  marked. 


?o 


A,.. 


Not  less  rcinarknblo,  however,  is  tin-  i>hysi(al  aspect  of  Caijc 
P.reton,  a  trille  over  one  hundred  tiiiU-s  in  lenj,nh,  nearly  eighty  in 
width,  and  ail  hut  divided  through  tlie  iwuUWc  by  the  waters  of 
the  famous  Hras  d'Or  lakes,  the  division  having  been  completed  by  the 
fine  canal  of  St.  Peter's,  making  an  exceedingly  attractive  route  for 
steamers  between  St.  Pierre  Island,  Newfoundland,  and  Halifax. 
These  lakes  also  torm  the  natural  boundary  between  very  distinct  and 
opposite  landscape  features,  that  of  the  northern  being  mountainous  and 
exceedingly  romantic,  the  southern  low  and  comparatively  uninteresting. 

The  mineral  resources  have  recently  been  brought  to  our  notice 
through  the  great  enterprise  of  the  Dominion  Coal  Company,  with 
H.  M.  Whitney  at  its  head. 

(lypsum  is  also  a  staple  ant!  important  prod  ict  as  well  ar,  a  striking 
feature  in  the  landscape.  Of  the  nearly  ninety  thousand  inhabitants, 
over  ten  thousand  are  ''Ugaged  in  fi,hing.  We  cannot  but  believe  that 
when  C'ajje  P>reton  becomes  better  known  it  will  rank  as  one  of  the  great 
summer  resorts  of  .America.  Increasing  railroad  and  steamer  fiicilities 
are  making  this  possible,  while  the  unrivalled  climate,  unique  land  and 
water-scape  beauty,  and  unlimited  opportimity  for  sport  and  recreation 
make  it  more  than  probable. 

By  this  time  we  are  fairly  within  T.cnnox  Passage,  with  evidences  on 
every  hand  of  the  l-'rench  who  inhabit  Isle  Madame,  and  cruise  u])  and 
down  the  shores  in  their  Frenchy-looking  schooners  and  fishing 
smacks. 

Passing  through  the  great  government  canal  of 
Bras  d'Or  Lakes.  St.  Peter's,  the  course  lies  among  closely  bordering 
shores  and  irregular  coves  and  headlands  for 
some  six  or  eight  miles.  The  large  and  quaint  settlement  of  the  Mic- 
rnac  Indians  is  passed  midway,  its  white  Catholic  Church  standing  out 
as  a  landmark  for  some  miles.  It  is  on  these  islands  on  St.  .Anne's  day 
that  the  Indians  hold  a  religious  encampment,  with  ceremc  uirJs  and 
processions  of  i  very  unique  kind,  —  a  pilgrimage  to  keep  alivi'  the 
faith  among  the  faint  hearted. 

A  tiny  white  lighthouse  at  Cape  Ceorge  marks  the  entrance  to  St. 
Peter's  Inlet,  or,  in  our  case,  the  exit.  Spread  before  the  delighted 
eyes  are  the  Hashing  waters  of  the  C.reat  Uras  d'Or.  Nearly  twenty 
miles  across,  on  the  right,  reaching  its  golden  arm  far  into  the  island, 
lies  East  Bay ;  on  the  other  hand,  the  island-studded  waters  of  West 
Bay  :  the  two  making  a  salt  inland  sea  of  fifty  miles  in  length,  and  some- 
thing like  three  hundred  sijuare  miles  area.

We  will  leave  the  steamer  here  in  pursuance  of  our  plan  as  sug- 
gested, and  take  to  the  rail  again,  following  almost  continually  the 
shore  from  ("rrand  Narrows  to  Sydney.  It  is  after  Iea\ing  Shenacadie 
that  the  glimpses  of  lake  and  mountain  begin  to  arrest  the  attention  ; 
at  Boisdale  a  magnificent  line  of  hills  skirts  the  shore,  and  the  grand 
outlines  of  Long  iNland  burst  on  the  view,  sei)arate(l  by  a  narrow 
channel  from  the  mainland,  for  se\eral  miles  the  eye  will  be  held  by 
a  succession  of  entrancing  vistas,  all  the  while  surrounded  with  the 
luxuries  of  a  modern  railway  service. 

Little  llras  d'Or  Lake  is  very  remarkably  connected  with  the  Atlan- 
tic by  two  narrow  channels,  between  which  lies  ]!oularderie  Island,  the 
southern  or  St.  Andrew  channel  we  have  been  following,  and  continue  to 


do  so  till  after  passing  Long  Island,  when  the  rail  turns  southward  cross- 
ing and  skirting  arms  of  the  Sydney  Harbor,  Hnally  entering  the  town  of 

the  largest  on  the  island  and  the  centre  of  a  vast  coal 
Sydney,     region.     The  immense  ])eirs  running  far  out  into  the  harbor, 

the  niunerous  steamers  and  vessels  of  all  types,  the  long 
trains,  coal  laden,  all  speak  of  the  one  grea'  industry.  'I'he  town  is 
not  especiall)-  notable,  being  in  tiie  progressive  stage,  with  every  pros- 
pect of  a  brilliant  future.  One  or  two  of  the  older  streets  are  very 
quaint,  and  contain  freipient  hinis  of  the  (ays  when  the  I'Vcnch  were 
more  numerous.  A  large  and  modern  hotel  has  just  been  erected  here, 
with  the  inteni  to  satisfy  the  (K'mands  of  the  constantly  increasing 
tourist  patronage. 


.jA^ 


This  is  the  eastern  terminal  of  the  Intercolonial,  and  the  most 
eastern  point  to  which  any  railway  extends  in  America  :  a  coal  railway 
runs  trains  of  a  mixed  character  southward  to  the  coal  mines  and  to 
Louisburg.     The  liras  d'Or  steamer  line  also  has  its  terminal  here. 

Sydne\''s  inii^rtance  as  a  port  may  be  judged  by  the  fact  that  in 
one  year,  that  of  1S92,  over  fourteen  hundred  vessels,  mostly  steamers, 
entered  and  cleared,  also  that  her  export  of  coal  amounted  to  over 
two  hundred  thousand  tons.  I'^stimatcs  of  exi)erts,  based  on  former 
tests  of  duration  of  seams,  in(li<-ate  that  Sydney  district  has  two  billion 
finis  i  ivailable  coal  !  The  seams  vary  from  three  to  twelve  feet  in 
thickness,  and  ninety  to  four  hundred  in  width,  extending  in  many  in- 
stances far  out  under  the  Atlantic. 

To  him  \vh(^  has  a  fondness  for   history  or 
Historic  Louisburg.     antiques,  to  the  American  especially,  the  annals 

of  this  fortress  of  the  east  must  be  particularly 
fascinating.  Of  the  twenty  miles  between  Sydney  and  I.ouisburg  little 
can  be  said  ;   it  is  intensely  uninteresting. 

Over  the  portal  of  Core  Hall  at    Harvard  College  is  fixed  a  (juaint 
wrought-iron  cross,  brought  by  the  colonial  tr()o])s  from  I.ouisburg  as  a 
trophy  ;   in  the  grounds  of  a  well-known  physician  of   Sydney  stands  a 
curious  cannon  of  the  swivel    pattern,    rescued  from   the 
waters  of  I.ouisburg  Harbor;  so  far  as  kutnvn  these  aie  all        I 
the  existing  relics  of  the  once-power-  ■ 

ful  stronghold. 

Standing  on  the  few  remaining 
earthworks  at  I.ouisburg,  looking 
around  on  the  grassy  mounds  that 
indicate  the  outlines  of  the  once  mas- 
six  c  walls,  "curiosity  is  lost  in  wonder, 
wonder  gi\es  way  to  reflection,  and 
rellection  leads  straight  to  the  ([ues- 
tion,  '  What  do  all  these  miles  of 
earthworks  mean?' "  Drake,  in  his  " 
concise  history  of  this  remarkable  fortress,  which  is  nn 
space  or  intent  of  this  little  volume  permits. 

"  In  creating  I.ouisburg  the  court  of  Xersailk.^  had  far  more  ex- 
tended views  than  the  building  of  a  strong  fortress  to  guard  (he  gate- 
way into  Canada  would  of  itself  imply."  We  read  from  I'arkman's 
fascinating  pages  of  the  ambitious  and  hopes  of  the  French  in  America, 
of   the  importance  of   ( juebe.  ,  that  .|ueenly  city  of  the  north,  and  the

Taking  of  I.ouisburg,"   gives  a 
u)re  than    the 


/  D 


intiMided  ielati\t'  jxjsition  J.ouisburg  was  to  hold  on  the  southern  hniits 
of  Acadia.  It  was  'ifter  the  treaty  of  I'trecht,  ui  i  713,  that  action  be- 
gan, and  in  thirty  years  was  created  at  an  exjiense  of  nearly  five  niil- 
hons  (of  present  money  \alue)  a  fortress  that  was  known  as  the  Dun- 
kirk of  America. 

The  taking  of  Loui^hurg  by  a  raw  aiiny  of  recruits  and  Nohmteers 
of  New  Kngland  in  1745  is  one  of  the  mar\els  of  military  history,  a 
sur]")rise  to  the  world,  an  everlasting  memorial  tu  the  \alor  and  pluck 
of  sturdy  Capt.  Pei)pereli  and  his  New  I'jigland  veomen. 

If  there  is  one  trij)  to  be   named  above   an- 
Bras  d'Or  again,     other  on  llie  island,  it  is  that  of  the  steamer  from 

Sydney  to  Uaddeck,  W'hycogomagh,  or  (irand 
Narrows  via  (Ircat  IJras  d'(  )r.  l.ea\  ing  Sydney  at  a  comfortable  hour  in 
the  morning,  the  "  Marion  "  crosses  to  the  thriving  rival  town  of  North 
Sydney,  and  then  puis  out  to  sea  past  the  red  cliffs  of  Cranberry  Head, 
with  its  great  smoke-stacks  and  (olliery  elevators,  the  work;;  of  the 
Sydney  mines,  and  aroinid  the  giant  blocks  and  columns  of  Point 
Aconi. 

'i'hen  the  course  lies  sotithwest  into  the  narrow  jiortal  of  (Ireat 
P>ras  d'Or,  ])ast  the  >andy  bar  that  all  but  closes  the  entrance,  and  up 
close  under  the  shadow  of  Kelly's  Mountain,  which  here  rises  twelve 
hundred  feet  abo\e  the  co\e  bearing  the  same  name. 

There  are  u'.any  conjectures  as  to  the  origin  of  this  ''Ann  of 
i'lOliL"  We  prefer  loaccejit  it  as  aii  evidence  of  the  imaginati\e  ([Uali- 
ties  of  the  lireton  settlers  who  gave  tiie  name  :  its  a|)propriateness  is 
manifest  to  him  w!io  tor  tlu  first  time  looks  upon  the  "greater  arm." 
P>om  the  entrance  to  the  end  ol'  the  chaimel  near  liaddeck,  the  waters 
seklom  exceed  a  iriile  m  width,  in  one  place  less  than  a  hall'-mile, 
and  are  ONcrlooked  b\  the  wild  summits  of  the  lOnglishtown  Mountains, 
and  dotted  by  many  wooded  l>lcs.  In  two  or  three  instances  the  stn- 
l)endous  chalk  cliffs  disclose  themsebes  from  tln'ir  forest  surroundings, 
like  marble  [uihu  c's  m  a  primeval  wilderness. 

At  the  broadest  portion  of  Little  T.ras  d'Or  Lake  a  bay 
Baddeck.  runs  up  auo  the  hills,  at  the  entrance  of  which  stands  the 
hnest  residence  on  the  island,  the  summer  home  of  Prof. 
Bell,  the  imentor  of  the  American  telephone  ;  on  the  other  side,  be- 
hind a  foiest-c()\ered  island  and  its  bghthouse,  a  straggling  town  with 
spires  outlined  ii-ainst  dark  hills  .  it  is  Paddeck,  known  to  all  well-

To  this  out  of  the  way,  ])riniitivf,  i)icturesque  town  have  cume  a  few 
cultured  Americans,  who  are  forming  a  social  nucleus  to  which  will  be 
added  the  choicest  spirits  of  the  resort  that  is  to  be.  Perhaps  not  a 
great  and  fashionable  resort,  but  such  as  will  attract  and  hold  the  lover 
of  Nature  for  her  own  sake.  The  motto  of  this  i)ioneer  settlement 
seems  to  be,  "Once  ISaddeck,  a/jeutys  lladdeck." 

The  origin  of  this 
odd  name  is  the  Indian 
"  I'.edek,"  adapted  by 
I'rench  as  J>ede<iue. 
'I'he  town  itself  is  not 
alluring,  but  its  envi- 
ronment may  be  de- 
scribed in  most  extrav- 
agant terms.  \\'ithin 
easy  distances  are  most 
glorious  mountain  and 
lake  scenery :  a  score 
of  mountain  streams 
and  rivers  fill  the  air 
with  singing  and  roar- 
ing, and  yield  lusty 
trout  and  salmon.  'Vhv 
famed  Margaree  River, 
first  of  Xova  Scotian 
salmon  streams,  lies 
twenty  miles  away  ;  St. 
Anne's  liay,  most  beau- 
iifui  of  all  on  the 
island,  but  ten  miles 
northeasterly  ;  and  be- 
yond, the  wild  northern 
shore  stretches  away  to  '' 

Inganish,   bound    by   a 

line  of  stupendous  cliffs  and  mountains,  back  oi  them  the  vast  table- 
lands of  \'ictoria  County,  cu\ereil  with  primeval  forests,  o\er  which 
roam  undisturbed  great  herds  of  caribou.  .\  drive  along  this  coast, 
i>v,  better,  a  journey  afoot,  depending  on  the  warm  and  homely  hos- 
pitality of  the  (laelic  settlers,  reveals  a  mode  of  living  llipt  for  absolute 
priniitiveness  is  nowhere  eipialled  on  our  continent.      Here  are  seen 


\-f\Ll)  >im. 


grinding  of  corn  1)V  hand-stones,  tind)er  liewn  in  a  similar  crude  man- 
ner, or  sawn  l)v  mills,  home  made  ;  while  from  every  iloor  comes  the 
sound  of  si)innin!j;-wheel  or  click  of  shuttle  in  the  family  loom.  Not 
less  interesting  are  the  Mi( mac  Indians,  who  i)itch  their  wigwams  on 
the  hillside  at  lladdeck,  their  i^ermanent  settlements  being  at  Indian 
Co\  e  and  at  Escasoni  near  (Irand  Narrows. 

Lea\  ing  IkuUlcck  and  following  the  steamer  route 
Whycocomagh.  through  St.  Patrick's  Channel  and  Little  Narrows 
leads  one  to  the  western  extremity  of  the  lake,  and 
into  the  trossach  scenery  of  the  bay  and  town  of  Whycocomagh.  If 
its  name  is  a  stumbling-block,  let  nothing  else  deter  from  finding  it  out. 
!t  is  a  gem  of  purest  quality,  a  bit  of  Scotland,  it  would  seem,  im- 
jiorted  with  the  hardy  Scot  as  a  reminder  of  his  native  bens  and  lochs. 

l''rom  here  are  reached  the 
inland  lake  of  Ainslie,  and  the 
trout  streams  that  llow  from  and 
into  it ;  more  distant  are  the 
Gulf  shore  towns  and  coal  areas 
so(jn  to  be  reached  by  rail  of 
Port  Mood  and  Mabou,  and  away 
u]i  north  in  far  Inverness  County 
the  French  Acadian  fishing  port 
of  Cheticamp.  It  may  not  be 
amiss  to  add  that  in  this  town, 
which  the  natives  call  "  Hogo- 
mah  "  for  bre\ity,  is  a  (.omforta- 
ble  and  attractive  hotel,  tluit 
provides  all  the  game  delicacies 
in  their  season. 

Having  brietly  hinted  at  the  wealth  of  good  things  that  nature  has 
bestowed  on  '■  this  land  whereon  the  sun  first  shines,"  we  reluctantly 
leave  u  \>\  tiic  jiortion  of  railwav  wlii.h  we  omitted  in  oiu'  steamer  de- 
tour tb.piugh  the  lakes.  Fioui  (ir.md  Narrows,  then,  to  Mawkesbury,  we 
cross  lirst  liie  great  ir(jn  briilge  of  the  gDvernment,  through  which  ves- 
sels are  allowed  to  pa^s  at  all  tunes  ixi  ept  wlun  closed  for  trains, 
and  along  the  irregulai  shore,  c. itching  aggravating  glim])ses  of

that  seeipingU  ha\-e  no  iNnisf  for  bein!4,  till  we  learn  that  scores

■^^■<'tC: 


From   P.ryer   Island,  fifty  miles 
Digby  and  Annapolis  Basin.      southwest,  to   hoary  Cape  Blomi- 

(lon,  eighty  miles  northeasterly, 
stretches  a  mountain  l)uKv;irk  sheltering  from  fog  and  tempest  St. 
Mary's  15ay,  Annapolis  liasin,  the  fruitful  \alleys  of  Annapohs  and 
Cornwallis,  the  l)road  acres  of  drand  I'ri',  and  tlie  green  banks  of  the 
Avon. 

At  the  foot  of  the  ba^in  liul-'  Digby  sits  in  the  sunshine  and 
spreads  its  ruddy  beach  along  the  tide,  surrounded  by  towering  hills, 
except  where  well-tilled  slopes  give  place.  It  is  a  i[uaint,  homy 
town,  old  colonial  houses  here  and  there,  a  cluster  of  gray  and  mossy 
fishing  huts  nestling  by  the  ct)\e  and  guns  that  never  roar  on  the 
bluffs  that  face  the  i)ier.  Two  good  and  (piiet  houses  entertain  the 
traveller;  a  half-do/en  ])i(tures(|ue  roads  lure  him  out  into  the  coun- 
try, and  the  railway  leads  to  far  western  N'armouth  town  along  the 
beautiful  bay  of  St.  Mary's,  and  ovd  again  in  view  of  Kundy  ;  back  of 
it,  a  little  way  only,  stretch  illimitable  f  rests,  with  silent  lakes  and 
all  that  live  thcrem  to  at'ract  the  rod  or  gun.  The  rail  also  skirts  the 
bay  if  one  chooses  to  go  that  way,  through  Ikar  River  Village,  Pleasant 
Cove,  and  half  a  score  of  thrifty  hamlets  to  Annapolis. 

Continuing  by  stenmer,  we  pass  Hear  Island  mid-basin,  and  up  the 
graduallv  narrowing  bay  lined  will)  farms  tliat  teem  with  fruitfulness  and 
plent  ■,  (n-erlooked  by  the  slopes  uf  the  North  Mountains  and  the 
spires  of  Cranville'.-i  churc  lies.  After  twriuv  miles  of  delighiuil  >ail-

the  I'oit  Royal  of  olden  time,  and  the  focal  |)oint

Spreading  afar  and  unfcnLcd  o'er  ihe  plain;   and  awny  to  the  northward

Sea-fo^s  pitched  their  tents,  and  mists  from  ihe  mijility  Atlantic 
Looked  on  the  happy  valley,  hut  ne'er  from  their  station  descended." 

Close  by  the  railway  are  the  indistinct  remains  of  the  ancient  town, 
willows  marking  the  line  of  the  street,  an  old  well,  the  village  square  ; 
o\er  the  meadows  at  llirton  landing  is  the  shore  whence  sailed  the 
exiled  band.  Passing  through  the  village,  with  here  and  there  a  home 
built  by  Puritan  settlers,  and  their  (luaint  colonial  church,  one  soon 
reaches  the  summer  home  of  Judge  Weatherbee,  "St.  luilalie,"  grace- 
fully named,  where  Gaspereaux  River  again  is  seen,  and  indistinct 
traces  of  the  highway  of  the  Acadians,  winding  down  to  the  vale 
"  Amid  its  yellowing  sea  of  flowers,"  a  few  gnarled  apple-trees  pre- 
served by  loving  hands,  remnants  of  broken  homes.

This  is  no  more  your  dwelling-place; 

But  oft  as  purple  eventide 

Bathes  all  these  hills  in  tire  and  dew, 
Some  wanderer  by  the  river-side 

Shall  drop  a  tear  and  dream  of  you." 

If  the  Annapolis  Valley  is  a  spot  to  lure  and  de- 
Minas  Basin,  tain  for  indefinite  periods  the  traveller,  then  the  Basin 
of  Minas  with  its  northern  shore,  amazing,  striking, 
exhilarating,  calls  loudly  for  an  e(iual  share  of  attention.  Accessible 
by  the  steamer  leaving  Hantsport,  or  the  llvangeline  Navigation  Com- 
pany's line  from  Kingsport  to  Parrsboro',  the  finest  and  most  awe- 
inspiring  views  of  P>lomidon  from  all  sides  are  obtained.  The  latter 
company's  steamer  runs  out  under  the  cape,  and  around  it  into  full 
view  of  the  entire  basin.  Across  the  bay  are  the  noble  Cobequid  Moun- 
tains, Sugar  Loaf  dominating  the  range;  at  their  feet  the  glowing  red- 
dish and  white  masses  of  the  Five  Islands,  and  great  cliffs  of  Frazer's 
Head,  especially  interesting  to  an  artist  or  geologist.  Following  the 
shore  westward  the  eye  rests  on  distant  I'arrsboro'  first,  then  on  Par- 
tridge Island,  Cape  Sharp,  Ram  Mead,  fully  sustaining  its  right  to  such 
a  name,  and  far  away  the  receding  curves  of  (Ireville  15ay,  from  out 
which  looms  the  majestic  headlands  of  Cape  Spencer  and  Cap  D'Or, 
terminals  of  the  great  ])eninsula  of  Cumberland  County. 

When  midway  of  the  basin,  lilomidon   discloses  all  the  columns  of 
its  basaltic  formation,  clothed,  as   befits  a  kingly  form,  in  purple  hues;

adjoining  it  is 
still  another 
gigantic  freak  of  nature, 
Cape  Split,  a  detached 
column  of  rock  like  a 
monument  to  some 
fallen  aboriginal  war- 
rior, defying  all  time 
and  elements.  Between 
it  and  Cape  Sharp,  less 
than  three  miles  away,  the 
savage  currents  of  incoming  and 
outgoing  tides  snarl  and  roar. 
Eveiy thing  here  is  on  a  mag- 
nificent, scale.  Little  wonder 
that  i;  should  have  been  the 
home  of  Gluskap,  to  the  Indian's 
fancy,  and  the  scene  of  many 
of  his  wondrous  carousals  and 
feats  1  Arriving  at  Parrsboro', 
the  visitor  will  find  a  comfortable  hotel,  and  should  spend  time 
enough  to  drive  along  the  truly  remarkable  shores  to  Kconomy 
on  one  side,  and  Advocate  Harbor  on  the  other,  and  the 
great  coal  mines  inland.' ;  Rail  connection  is  from  here  made  with 
the  Intercolonial  —  as  noted  in  a  ^former  section  —  at  Spring  Hill 
lunction.

Leaving  (Irand  I'rc  or  Wolfville  the  route  leads  through 
Windsor,  the  busy  little  shipbuilding  town  of  Ilantsport,  where  one 
may  see  oftentimes  a  score  of  vessels  reclining  at  various 
angles  on  the  muddy  banks,  or  tloatmg  well  up  to  the  level  of  the  marshes, 
as  the  tide  may  determine,  crosses  the  l)rf)ad  waters  of  the  Avon  and 
stops  at  one  of  the  most  interesting  and  beautiful  towns  in  Nova  Scotia, 
Windsor. 

Of  course  every  guide-book  ever  written  tells  you  that  "Sam 
Slick "  lived  here,  that  on  the  hill  near  the  station  stand  the  block 
house,  magazine,  and  barracks  of  I'\)rt  iMlwanl,  with  Annapolis'  ruins 
the  possession  of  the  Crown  :  that  King's  College,  oldest  of  iOngland's 
colonial  universities,  is  here,  dating  from  i  790,  and  that  it  was  one  of 
the  oldest  and  largest  of  the  Acadian  settlements  ;  but  it  cannot  convey 
to  you  the  subtle  charm  of  the  landscape,  attaining  iis  fullest  expres- 
sion as  seen  from  the  college  grounds,  nor  put  into  adecpiate  English 
the  foreign  air  that  ]iervades  the  place  ;  in  the  latter  respect  't  ap- 
proaches Halifax,  from  which  it  is  distant  forty-six  n>iles. 

One's  first  impression  of  Windsor  may  not  be  pleasing,  as  the  old 
portion  near  the  river  is  more  picturesque  than  tidy  ;  its  post-office  and 

court  house  are  promises  of  better  things 
to  come.  It  will  be  a  matter  of  surprise 
to  l^:arn  that  this  is  third  among  shipown- 
ing  towns  in  Canada,  and  that  its  gold 
mine,  a  few  miles  south,  is  actually  a  pay- 
ing investment.  The  most  novel  effects 
of  the  tides  are  again  seen  here.  \\'arner 
remarked  that  he  "never  knew  before 
how  much  water  adds  to  a  river  !  "  It 
niav  not  be   amiss  to   mention  that  one 


S9 


of  Canada's  first  poets,  widely  read  in  tiie  United  States,  C.  ().  D. 
Roberts,  lias  his  home  here,  occuppying  the  chair  of  English  Literature 
in  King's  College. 

The  journey  hence  to  Halifax  is  not  interesting  although  brief, 
leading  through  wilderness  and  flat  lands. 

This  interesting  city  deserves  a  long  and  complete  chap- 
Halifax,  ter  by  itself,  and  it  is  fitting  that  it  should  serve  as  a  climax 
to  all  that  has  gone  before.  Its  chief  interest  to  the  visit- 
ing American  is  its  decided  English  tone  and  aspect ;  in  this  particular 
it  is  perhaps  more  individual  than  any  other  Canadian  city,  save  Mon- 
treal. 

Possessed  of  one  of  the  finest  harbors  of  the  world,  finer  than  any 
on  the  Atlantic  coast  at  least,  and  with  a  system  of  fortifications  most 
complete  and  redoubtable  in  the  New  World,  Halifax  is  easily  queen 
of  the  northern  seas  and  secure  from  the  attacks  of  any  maritime  power. 

Though  less  ancient  than  the  port  of  La  Have  on  the  southern 
shore,  and  less  rich  in  history,  Halifax  had  the  advantage  in  1 749  of 
beginning  its  existence  with  a  colony  of  over  twenty-five  hundred, 
which  in  six  months  had  grown  to  five  thousand,  and  in  1894  some- 
thing like  ten  times  as  many  souls.  It  is  beautiful  for  situation,  over- 
looking its  harbor  and  the  Bedford  Basin  in  either  direction,  and 
graced  by  many  solid  and  noble  civic  and  ecclesiastic  buildings,  with 
streets  that  strongly  suggest  corners  of  London  or  Edinburgh. 

The  Haligonian,  when  ap])roached  by  proper  letters  of  introduction, 
is  one  of  the  most  delightful  entertainers  possible,  otherwise  he  is  in- 
clined to  be  exclusive.  One  sees  on  the  public  thoroughfares  numer- 
ous well-dressed  men  and  women,  among  whom  the  redcoat  of  the 
regulars  mingles  in  [leasing  contrast  of  color.  The  Public  Gardens  are 
noteworthy  and  famous  all  through  the  north,  and  at  times,  when  the 
fine  military  band  plays,  with  the  accompanying  illuminations  and  listen- 
ing crowds,  is  a  scene  of  great  brilliancy  and  animation. 

It  is  seldom  vouchsafed  a  stranger  to  enter  the  ramparts  of  the 
citadel,  or  the  works  and  batteries  in  the  harbor,  lest  he  be  especially 
favored,  but  it  is  possible  and  very  interesting  to  attend  the  military 
services  at  Garrison  Chapel,  to  visit  the  old  church  of  St.  Paul's,  the 
Cathedral,  the  Parliament  buildings,  the  Point  Pleasant  Park,  the  Ter- 
race ;  and  on  early  morning  of  a  Wednesday  and  Saturday,  the  Green 
Market. 

The  opportunities  for  getting  away  from.  Halifax  by  water  are  numer- 
ous, whether  for  Europe  or  the  States,  Newfoundland,  Cape  Breton, 


90 


St.  Pierre,  or  Quebec ;  or  the  fiur  bays  and  resorts  that  line  the  still 
fairer  South  Shore,  St.  Margaret's  Bay,  incomparable  Mahone  Bay, 
Chester,  Lunenburg,  La  Have,  Liverpool,  Shelburne,  and  a  host  of 
other  towns  equally  attractive.  Chester  is  a  favorite  resort  of  Haligo- 
nians  and  people  from  the  Southern  States;  Lunenburg  is  large, 
thriving,  and  almost  exclusively  Cerman  ;  Bridgewater  on  the  La  Have 
is  rich  in  history  and  legends  of  the  Acadians,  and  offers  great  induce- 
ments to  the  canoeist  or  fisherman  in  its  rivers  and  lakes  inland. 

We  have  omitted  much,  regretfully,  necessarily 
In  Conclusion,  have  left  unsaid  that  which  we  ought  to  have  said, 
and  said  that  which  we  ought  not  to  have  said,  — 
perhaps.  Thio  much  should  be  said  :  travel  to  the  Provinces  and 
through  them  is  not  what  it  once  was,  a  matter  of  labor  and  tribula- 
tion ;  the  genius  of  modern  progress  has  followed  the  exile  of  the  Aca- 
dian and  the  songs  of  the  poet.  Transportation  has  become  noted 
for  "speed  and  comfort  and  safety."  In  the  land  of  the  " Bluenose " 
and  "  Buckvvheat "  the  vacation  fund  can  be  made  to  go  a  long  way, 
for  board  everywhere  is  reasonable,  exceedingly  so,  and  in  most 
cases  good,  although  plain.  A  constant  improvement  in  all  these  par- 
ticulars is  taking  place.  Sincerely  hoping  this  little  book  may  fulfil  its 
intended  mission  among  vacation  planners,  it  is  sent  on  its  way.
